Chapter 935 Great Mongolia
Zhong Qing hopes that Ye Qing can focus more on the court, rather than the northern land, which is somewhat stable now.
Whether it was Zhong Qing or other people in the Song Dynasty, Ye Qing kept saying that his focus was not on the court, but on the north. This move was more like to force them to relax their vigilance, rather than to continue to focus on the north.
The Song Dynasty court has now regained so much land, which has never happened since the Song Dynasty moved south. Therefore, it can be said that Ye Qing's achievements are enough for him to win a large seat in the court. There is no need to use swords and guns to continue fighting with the Jin people.
After all, with Ye Qing's current achievements and prestige, as long as he is used properly, it is enough for him to turn around in the court and establish his own party forces. So why should he do things that are thankless and will cause all the ministers in the court to criticize and jealous?
Ye Qing obviously knew better than anyone else that the prosperity and prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty had made more people forget that the real danger was still in the north, and even most people, including Zhong Qing in front of him, had never felt a real sense of crisis in their hearts about the current north, or, in their opinion, the current power structure will continue like this without changing until the end of the day.
Little wealth is at ease and lacks enterprising spirit. This is Ye Qing's evaluation of the Song Dynasty and the direction that the Song Dynasty is working hard toward. He does not want to stir up wars or fights in the north. He just hopes that everything will continue so peacefully. The undercurrents of the Jin, Xia and Tatars in the north are surging. For them, it is best not to ignore it before nothing comes, and to sweep away the snow in front of the door.
Looking at Ye Qing's melancholy expression, Zhong Qing frowned. She had been sleeping with her bed for years, how could she not know that Ye Qing's mind has always been in the north and has never been very enthusiastic about government affairs in the court.
This is why she reminded Ye Qing that she hoped Ye Qing could focus too much on the court, which was that she hoped that things like Shan would no longer happen to Ye Qing again, but that she could be safe and peaceful with Ye Qing and live a long life.
"Since Sangkun escaped to Xia Kingdom for asylum, Temujin has only one opponent left on the grassland, Zamuhe." Ye Qing put down the teacup, glanced at Zhong Qing, and then continued to say slowly: "And since I left Jingzhao Mansion, in just a few months, Zamuhe on the grassland has been beaten by Temujin and retreated east of the grassland. Last year, there were heavy snowstorms, and countless cattle, sheep, horses and people frozen to death by the Zamuhe tribe, and Temujin... Because the craftsmen I sent in, the losses were much less than that of the Zamuhe tribe, so after the spring, Temujin had a greater advantage in attacking Zamuhe."
"But...but this is the Tatars on the grassland after all, right?" Involuntarily, Temujin's burly and bold figure appeared in front of Zhong Qing's eyes. Of course, she clearly remembered that Ye Qing and Temujin had a long talk in the Yan family courtyard overnight: "Even if Temujin can unify the grassland, there is not a Jin Kingdom or Xia Kingdom between you and him? He was afraid that it would still be difficult to become a major concern for the North and even the Song Dynasty for a while?"
"Zamuhe has already started to contact Wanyan Jing two days ago, which means that Zamuhe is already alone and it has only been a matter of Temujin's unification of the grassland in the past two years." Ye Qing nodded, then looked at Zhong Qing thoughtfully and asked with interest: "If you are Temujin, what will you do next after unifying the grassland?"
"I..." Zhong Qing was stunned for a moment, then bit her lip and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a long time, she said, "If I were Temujin and knew that your ultimate goal was Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures, I would lure you to attack Jin with me from north to south, and take the opportunity to seize the passes of Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures before you."
"Then do you think I will agree to attack Jin with him at this time?" Ye Qing continued to ask with a smile.
"I don't know, probably won't." Zhong Qing shook her head and realized that what she had just thought seemed to have missed the teacher-student relationship between Ye Qing and Wanyan Jing.
And now, Ye Qing still gives Wanyan Jing a lot of convenience. Although there was a big battle just before the New Year and Ye Qing also captured the three Hetao Routes, the trade and other exchanges between Jin and the North did not interrupt even a day due to the short war between the two countries last year.
Ye Qing looked at Zhong Qing who was in deep thought with a smile. At the same time, in the vast desert, a tent that could be called luxurious was also covered with snow-white tents like the leisurely and free clouds in the sky, just like the clouds in the sky fell onto the green grassland, and were dotted into a green sky.
Looking out at the white tents all over the mountains, there are herds of cattle and sheep, giving people a sense of prosperity, peace and beauty. When approaching the white tents, I began to feel a solemn and tense atmosphere, and the unpleasant smell of animal feces all over the ground.
In the huge tent in the center, Mu Huali and Bolshu reported the battle report and just walked out of the tent. A screen standing behind Temujin, Qiu Chuji slowly walked out with a smile.
"Congratulations to Khan, now I finally forced Zamuhe into a stray dog." Qiu Chuji stood on the side of Temujin and said with a smile.
Temujin looked up at Qiu Chuji with a satisfied smile on his face: "Before the first snow in the cold winter, if he could unify the grassland, he would be able to bear the congratulations from Xianchang. Now the Jin people are afraid that they will not miss this opportunity, and Zamuhe will never let go.
If the Jin man was surrendered, it would be too early to unify the grassland."
"Since that's the case, why not take advantage of this opportunity to Xiang Jin..." Qiu Chuji kept silent at the right time and looked at Temujin with a smile on his face.
After living with Temujin for a long time, Qiu Chuji also understood Temujin's temper and nature. Even if he or his subordinates said it right or wrong, Temujin has strong patience to listen to you and will not refute you later, but his next actions will never be the same as your suggestions.
So now, as soon as Qiu Chuji said, looking at the ever-expanding smile on Temujin's face, he knew what he wanted to use Zamuhe to invest gold to attack gold. Obviously, Temujin's plan was a bad move.
Qiu Chuji can help Temujin in many places or help tribes on the grassland, but on the strategic battlefield, his vision is more than 100,000 miles away from Temujin.
Temujin valued Qiu Chuji, and Tan Chuduan and the others naturally would not stop the smile on their faces in time like they were to others. Seeing Qiu Chuji also had a shortcoming side, not every aspect could make them look up to him, they were naturally very satisfied with their current compliance relationship.
Now he is a great knight on the entire grassland. If he is not as good as Qiu Chuji everywhere, it will naturally have a great impact on Temujin's prestige on the grassland and his prestige in his heart.
"By Zamuhe to attack Jin... I'm afraid it will be cheaper at that time." Temujin poured a cup of tea for Qiu Chuji, signaled Qiu Chuji to sit down next to him, and slowly spoke and continued: "As Xianchang said at the beginning, the hatred between Song and Jin is irreconcilable. Now all south of the Jin Kingdom belong to Ye Qing. If my grassland warrior attacked Jin, it would definitely make the Jin people relax their defense against Ye Qing. At that time, it would probably be possible for Ye Qing to reap the benefits of the fisherman."
"It is true that Ye Qing is ambitious, but... he really has the courage to touch the territory that has never belonged to the Song court? In my opinion, it may not be possible. The Song people have always liked fighting in the nest, and the Khan also knew a little about the Lin'an Song court. In addition, the Song court had been silent in the Guanshan Battle last year. Could it be that the Khan still couldn't see that Ye Qing was not so popular in the Song court?"
"That's true, but in the north, I'm afraid Ye Qing still covers the sky with one hand. If the Song court cannot distract Ye Qing in Lin'an, once we confront the Jin Kingdom, how could Ye Qing's nose, which is more intelligent than a dog, not be able to smell the benefits? Guanshan's battle disagrees with the trust of the monarch and ministers between Song court and Ye Qing, but Ye Qing can immediately seize Guanshan, which the Xia people have occupied for a long time, and can also take the opportunity to seize the three routes of Hetao again, and even get a lot of horse-raising places, which is enough to prove that even if Ye Qing and Song court have a falling out, Ye Qing still has the final say in the north, and it is not the Song court." Temujin said with some regret.
"So... the Khan is waiting? Wait until Song Ting tied up Ye Qing, or was Ye Qing deprived of the Northern Territory by Song Ting?" Qiu Chuji asked in a feeling that he should have asked.
"It's not easy. As the saying goes, it's easy to invite gods and send gods. In order not to be attacked by the Jin people for many years, Song Ting had to let Ye Qing guard Huainan East Road, or go north to recover the so-called lost territory. Now Ye Qing has made such a great achievement in the north, and Song Ting is like raising a tiger. It's probably not easy to weaken Ye Qing now. Moreover, with Ye Qing's cunning and revenge of his enemies, Ye Qing, who is now in Lin'an, has long killed his enemies behind his back. I believe that now, I'm afraid that he can have a place for the north.
In the stable rear, and mediating everywhere in the Lin'an court, or... have reached an agreement with Song Ting that both parties can accept decently. So no matter what Ye Qing is south of the Jin Kingdom, using the Zamuhe to invest gold to attack Jin, for us, it is a more harmful than good thing. Now, it is not the time to have a conflict with Song or Ye Qing." Temu Zhen tasted the tea, as if he had returned to the days with Ye Qing again. After looking at Qiu Chuji, who was thinking, he continued:
"The Warring States Strategy: Qin Strategy III" says: "It is better to have a king than to have a distance and attack near. If you get a tiny, you will be a tiny of a king. If you get a tiny, you will be a tiny of a king. Now, whether you are fighting against the Jin people or fighting against the Xia Kingdom, you will be exploited by the Song court or Ye Qing, or you will be able to reap the benefits of a fisherman. After the Xia Kingdom lost Guanshan, Ye Qing has become a tiger that makes Xia Kingdom cold at all times, and Jin... If you want to swallow gold, you must make Song court. Ye Qing give up all the defenses against me, Temujin, and it is best... to fight against Jin with Ye Qing or Song court. In this way, we may be able to gain the advantage."
"But now..." Qiu Chuji stroked his beard. After Temujin's point, he naturally knew the powerful relationship. But now, whether it is Xia, Jin, Song or the Tatars, they have been involved in this complex relationship, and have completely become a force that can move the whole body.
If Temujin now had unified the grassland, his warriors would not be satisfied with plundering the wealth of other tribes on their own grassland. They would inevitably extend their hands to the richer Jin, Xia, and even Song Ting.
People have such a disadvantage. Once they find a way to gain wealth easily, other methods will not be able to gain control of their eyes. Therefore, there is no way to accumulate wealth in this world than barbaric plunder. The Tatars must reach out to their surroundings when they become stronger after unification and their power.
“We must break the present
It would be a good situation. Otherwise, no matter whether we are playing gold or Xia, there is a possibility that Ye Qing will take the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Ye Qing will definitely not miss this great opportunity." Qiu Chuji frowned.
"Not bad." Temujin put down the teacup, his expression became a little depressed: "Once the current balance of the situation is broken, Ye Qing and I will no longer be brothers, and I am afraid that in this life, I will never be like before."
Qiu Chuji was shocked at first. Unexpectedly, Temujin valued the swornship between him and Ye Qing so much, and sighed quietly in his heart. Qiu Chuji immediately realized that Temujin's words also revealed a trace of information.
"In this way, Dahan already has... he has a way to break this balance?" Qiu Chuji asked with his mind about the friendship between Temujin and Ye Qing.
Temujin looked down at the desk in front of him, as if he had not heard Qiu Chuji's words. After a long time of silence, he whispered: "Yes, Liao Kingdom."
"Great Liao?" Qiu Chuji blurted out in shock, opened his eyes wide and looked at Temujin with a calm expression incredibly, and murmured: "Survey Liao? Should the Khan give up the current Jin and Xia, and go to the Liao?"
"Only in this way can we break the subtle balance between Song, Jin, Xia and us at the moment, so that Ye Qing thinks he has an opportunity to take advantage of it. At that time, no matter Ye Qing seizes Jin or attacks Xia, in the current situation of disagreement between Ye Qing and Lin'an Song Court, it is impossible to easily conquer it smoothly. Once the battle is fought, it will inevitably last for several years. The Liao Kingdom and Ye Qing are thousands of miles apart. Even if he wants to get a kick, he is powerless. The Xia people will definitely not dare to give up their vigilance against Ye Qing and come to this muddy water at this time. Therefore, conquering Liao is the most suitable for us." Temujin said deeply.
"The relationship between the princess of Liao Kingdom and Ye Qing..." Qiu Chuji looked at Temujin and was extremely shocked. He finally understood why Temujin said just now that once the balance between Jin, Xia, Tatars and Song court was broken, he and Ye Qing could no longer become brothers. It turned out that he had already thought of conquering Liao after unifying the grassland.
"The Southern Court of Liao Kingdom and the Northern Palace are already in power, and I have been to Liao Kingdom with Ye Qing, and I am more familiar with the deployment of Liao Kingdom. Moreover, the Liao Kingdom's combat power is very weak now, so it will be twice the result with half the effort for us to conquer Liao. Even after conquer Liao, if Song, Jin, and Xia are still maintaining the deadlock, then we can continue to advance westward and towards the Khwarezmian people. As long as Song, Jin, and Xia are loose, it will not be too late for us to turn around and make decisions." Temujin's hands on the table table gradually clenched into powerful fists.
"Since Ye Qing was able to instigate the Khan, Jin, and Xia people to help Liao together, it is difficult to guarantee that he would not be able to return when the Khan conquers Liao..." Qiu Chuji said with some fear.
"The Jin people, Xia people are not all fools. After being deceived once, how could they be deceived the second time?" Without waiting for Qiu Chuji to ask what he meant, Temujin said quickly: "Song, Jin, Xia and our Great Mongolian Kingdom assisted Liao, who got the advantage in the end? It seems like a helpless result after blocking Ye Qing's failure to attack Guanshan, but these are ultimately caused by helping Liao together. Under Ye Qing's proposal, they helped Liao together. In the end, Xia Kingdom lost the dangerous pass of Guanshan, and Jin Kingdom lost the three Hetao routes. Will they be deceived by Ye Qing in the same way again?"
"This is obviously impossible." Qiu Chuji blurted out.
Temujin instantly showed a satisfied smile. He was already sure that Jin, Xia Fangye Qing, was not too late, so how could he join forces with him again?
Now he can conquer so many people who are good at fighting. As long as the Great Mongol Kingdom is established, he can send troops directly to the Liao Dynasty. At that time, he can leave the mess of Song, Jin and Xia to them to check and balance each other, and he can continue to fight against the wealth from any Western country, and he can also take into account the various abnormal movements between the Jin, Song and Xia. Therefore, for himself, there is no need to spend time with them.
More importantly, even if Ye Qing wanted to use the narrow corridor of Xia Kingdom to help Liao, Xia Kingdom would probably never use him. Even if he dared to lend it to Ye Qing, does Ye Qing still have the courage and courage to put himself in a place of life and death for the sake of a fallen princess of Liao Kingdom?
Ye Qing is no better than Ye Qing back then. Whether in the north or in the court behind him, there are a lot of tedious things that involve his energy. So even if he is willing, he may not be able to do anything for the Daliao princess who is about to destroy his country.
"What will the princess of the Great Liao Kingdom... Khan plan to deal with it?" Qiu Chuji never felt that discussing these with Temujin before he completely defeated Zamuhe. He has been on the grassland for so many years. Now, the so-called Great Mongolia has a strong military force, and he has seen it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
In his opinion, whether it is Jin or Xia, even Ye Qing, who is regarded as his biggest opponent, is unlikely to be able to compete with the cavalry under Temujin's current command.
"Yelu Yue?" When Temujin heard Qiu Chuji's question, he couldn't help but frowned. For a moment, he didn't even know what he should do if he hit Liao Wangcheng, if he had to deal with this woman who was devoted to Ye Qing.
