In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 273 The Great Khan Was Killed by Song People

In the fifth year of Baoqing (1229), the new reform of the Song Dynasty was in full swing.

And on the grasslands in the north, the Kuliltai Conference of the Great Mongol Empire is ready to begin.

Since Monk Wanyan Chen defeated thousands of Mongolian cavalry with [-] loyal and filial troops last year, the Mongolian nobles realized that they could no longer engage in internal strife.

They must establish a new Great Khan as soon as possible, so as to form the absolute unity of the Great Mongol Empire and boost morale.

In February of the fifth year of Baoqing, the great ordo.

Daordu is the capital of the Mongolian Kingdom built by Genghis Khan in 1206. It is located in the southwest of Wendur Khan, Mongolia today.

After the death of Genghis Khan, according to the custom of the Mongols, Tuolei inherited the Great Ordu.

At this time, in a Mongolian tent in Daor'er, Tuo Lei, who was young and strong, was quietly looking at a map on the table.

This is where the power of the entire Great Mongol Empire can reach, ruling from most of the Eurasian continent, just looking at the places where Mongolia has power on the map can make any man's blood boil.

Thinking that at this moment, with just one order, he could decide the life and death of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people anywhere on this map, young Tuo Lei's face showed a crazy and scarlet color.

Tuo Lei has outstanding abilities, but he is too murderous, and he likes to slaughter cities the most. This is probably the reason why Yelu Chucai did not support him in history.

He looked at the map and thought that although he had promised his father to support Wochatai before his bedside, the power of the supervisory state for the past two years was really intoxicating. Is there any way to go back on what he said and not arouse the jealousy of the tribe? Hate it?
Since the Kingdom of Jin defeated the Mongolian army, Tuo Lei was forced to compromise and convened a Kuliltai meeting. Since last month, countless horses have rushed to various places ruled by Mongolia. He and Wochatai have decided to hold a meeting in August , to run for the new Great Khan.

Now that many Western Expeditions and Mongolian nobles have not returned, Tuo Lei is already thinking about how to take the position.

He obviously can't go back on his word himself, and it's better for someone else to bring it up.

"Report!" Someone suddenly shouted outside.

"Come in." Tuolei reluctantly looked away from the map.

The one who came in was Tuo Lei's general, Ao Tun Shiying.

"Yike Nayan." Ao Tun Shiying bowed first.

"Get up and talk." Tuolei said with a good smile.

Now is the critical time for employing people and fighting for the Great Khan, Tuo Lei is more gentle than usual.

Aotun Shiying took a few steps forward, looked around, saw that there was no one else in the big tent, and immediately whispered: "Wor'er answered, and went to Wokuotai's tent."

"Hiss..." Tuo Lei gasped, his face a little ugly.

Orda is the eldest son of his eldest brother Shuchi and the elder brother of Batu.

After Shuchi's death, O'erda knew that he was not as talented as Batu, so he promoted Batu to inherit his father's land.

At this time, Batu was still leading the army outside, and Wu'erda rushed back first, but he didn't see him as the fourth uncle at the first time, but went to see Wo Kuotai.

Of course Tuo Lei was not happy when he heard the words, but thinking that Batu had not come back yet, Batu had a good relationship with him, because Tuo Lei's wife, Solu Woteni, was very smart, and had long been friends with Batu's wife, intending to win over Batu .

Most of Jochi's territory and troops are in the hands of Batu. As long as Batu supports him, he obviously has more say than Orda.

Tuo Lei continued to look at the map in silence, thinking about who would be willing to speak first for him.

Autun Shiying saw that Tuo Lei did not speak, a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he boldly said in a deep voice: "Yek Nayan is sitting on the strongest elite of Great Mongolia, and now it is on our territory again."

Having said that, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his head: "Why don't you let the last general go?"

Unexpectedly, he led the troops to kill Wo Kuotai directly.

"Bastard." Tuo Lei was furious: "You bloody slave, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Yike Nayan calm down." Ao Tun Shiying quickly knelt down.

But seeing Tuo Lei turn around and grab a riding whip from the table, blah blah, and whip it on Aotun Shiying's back.

Aotun Shiying didn't say a word, knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, letting Tuolei hit his back heavily.

One of the whips accidentally hit him in the face.

Chi la, blood suddenly poured out of his face.

He still didn't dare to move, and still knelt on the spot.

Tuo Lei slapped him more than a dozen times in one breath, and then stopped when he saw that his face was bruised.

He looked at Aotun Shiying coldly, with killing intent in his heart.

Genghis Khan hated father and son brothers killing each other the most. How dare this damned Autun Shiying pick our brothers to kill each other?

Ao Tun Shiying is a golden man, obviously Tuo Lei now thinks that this man intends to pick him up.

After Tuolei stopped, Autun Shiying looked up at Tuolei, and continued: "Yike Nayan got the most important territory of the Great Khan, the most elite, armed with heavy troops, and supervised all sides of the country."

"The last general has also read the history books of the Song people."

"The last general heard that if the subject is strong and the master is weak, bad things will inevitably happen."

"Yike Nayan didn't agree to the meeting happily. If Wo Kuotai is allowed to take over in the future, troubles will inevitably arise."

Ao Tun Shiying also fought hard, telling the truth directly.

You have a lot of troops in your hands, and you didn't agree to a meeting two years ago.

If you are forced to hold a meeting now, it will be fine once you are in power. If you are not in power, the ministers are strong but the leader is weak. Do you think Wo Kuotai can let you go?

"You still dare to say that?" Tuo Lei threw away the riding crop this time, clanged, and pulled out the sword from his waist.With the sharp waist knife raised high, Aotun Shiying was not afraid and looked up at Tuo Lei.

Tuo Lei raised the long knife, and after a while, he let out a long sigh and gently put it on the table: "Get up."

Ao Tun Shiying spared his life to persuade him, Tuo Lei knew that what Ao Tun Shiying said made sense.

But Tuo Lei still thinks that he has great confidence in being able to take the top position.

"It's not unreasonable for you to worry. I didn't have a happy meeting and I offended my third brother."

"But I believe that the nobles of Mongolia know who is the strongest leader of Great Mongolia."

Tuo Lei is quite confident.

Because since the western expedition to Khwarezm, Genghis Khan and his brothers have been in various difficulties. Only the army he commanded has been victorious and invincible. Therefore, after the western expedition to Khwarezm, he immediately gained many Mongolian nobles. recognition and support.

Sure enough, within a month or so, Batu came back.

Batu immediately met with his fourth uncle Tuo Lei and expressed to Tuo Lei that he was willing to support Tuo Lei.

Batu, like Tuo Lei, has outstanding talents and leads troops in battles with few defeats.

The strong will always respect the strong.

Batu was quite dissatisfied with Wokuotai.

Because his elder brother Orda was very knowledgeable at the beginning, and Orda knew that his talent was not as good as Batu, so he took the initiative to propose to Genghis Khan that his younger brother Batu inherit his father's territory and most of his troops.

Batu believed that Wo Kuotai's leadership in battle was not as good as dragging mines, and he should follow his brother's example and abdicate automatically.

Batu's refuge made Tuo Lei very excited.

But at the end of March, Tuo Lei's second brother, Chagatai, came to persuade Tuo Lei for the fourth time, meaning that he should keep his father's promise before his death and support Wo Kuotai.

Tuo Lei was unhappy, but he didn't object to it face to face, but just expressed silence.

Chagatai came to persuade him for the fourth time, and the relationship between the two brothers was severely frustrated.

But he couldn't help it, because from childhood to adulthood, Ogedai and Chagatai had the best relationship, which could be said to be close.

In April, Li Yuanji, a Xixia native, was taken to Da Ordu and asked to meet with Tuo Lei.

Li Yuanji used to be the privy envoy of Xixia. Li Dewang promised to send protons to Mongolia, but he backed down after Mongolia withdrew. This guy persuaded Li Dewang to keep his promise.

When Xixia was destroyed and the city was massacred, he was saved by Chahan.

Chahan was also a member of the party, and led a large Xixia army to follow Genghis Khan to attack Xixia. At that time, it was Chahan's father, Qu Yeqilu, who was guarding Ganzhou. Chahan wrote a letter to his father, urging him to surrender, but was killed by the Xixia army.

On the second day of April, Tuo Lei was surprised to see Chahan in the camp.

"Why did Li Yuanji ask to see me?"

Chahan said, "He refused to tell, he only said that he can only speak when he meets Yeke Nayan."

Tuo Lei was bothering about Da Khan, he didn't want to see Li Yuanji at first, but Li Yuanji was acting mysteriously, after thinking about it, he said: "Call him in."

After a while, Li Yuanji came to the camp, first visited Tuo Lei, and then glanced at Chahan.

Tuo Lei said, we are all our own people here, if you have anything to say, just say it.

Li Yuanji didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "Yeke Nayan, Da Khan was killed by Song people."

"?" There was silence in the big tent, and Tuo Lei looked at him in disbelief.

Li Yuanji knew they didn't believe it, so he said, "I've heard this with my own ears."

Then he talked about how the Song envoy Meng Jing came to Zhongxing Mansion and first persuaded the Xixia nation to resist the enemy. He also asked Li Dewang to spread jewelry, gold and silver to inspire the soldiers.

"Bang" Tuo Lei was furious and slapped the table heavily, Song people are so insidious?

The people of Song Dynasty have sent people over every year for the past two years to show their favor. After Genghis Khan died, they also sent a lot of gifts.
Then Li Yuanji said that the envoy of the Song Dynasty also asked the whole country of Xixia to move to Sichuan. At that time, it was discussed by the court and the ministers of the court and China unanimously opposed it, so they gave up.

Later, he unexpectedly heard that the Song envoy actually asked Li Dewang to pretend to surrender, send the princess to Genghis Khan, and then look for an opportunity to assassinate her. Especially the Song envoy suggested that Genghis Khan could be killed.

Li Dewang didn't use the Song envoy's plan, probably because he couldn't bear to let go of his concubine.

But later the Xixia King Li Wei used it, and it really killed Genghis Khan.

"Boom." When Tuo Lei heard this, he was furious and overturned the table. He stepped forward and lifted up Li Yuanji's collar: "You dare to talk nonsense, why didn't you say it before?"

Li Yuanji was trembling with fear, and said in a trembling voice, the villain didn't know that Da Khan was, yes, so dead.

He had just met Chahan recently, and Chahan drank with him, and after breaking the wine, Li Yuanji made a slip of the tongue. Only then did Li Yuanji know that Genghis Khan had been bitten to death.

"The general is guilty." Chahan hurriedly knelt down, half-dead from fright.

He drank too much himself and blurted it out, but he didn't expect that something big would happen.

"Not just villains know about this matter." Li Yuanji added: "My former official minister Li Zhonge and Huiyou Pavilion scholar Li Bian were both present that day, and they all heard Li Dewang say that the Song envoy advised him to assassinate the Great Khan. .”

Both of them were officials who were saved alive during the massacre of Zhongxing Mansion.

"Song people——Song people—are they so shameless?" Tuolei was furious, wishing he could send troops to attack Song now.
