Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

After taking out the letter, Wo Kuotai began to read it. Guyu first expressed his condolences in the letter about his father's physical condition, his mother's physical condition, and the current situation of his brothers.

He also comforted them and asked them not to be sad about Kuo Chu's death.

Seeing this, Wo Kuotai chuckled. Boy, do you really care about Kuo Chu?
But even if it's just a fake relationship, I'm very happy that you can write it in the letter.

Next, Guyuk said that he would unconditionally support all arrangements made by Ogedei, because his father was the real Mongolian Khan.

Seeing this, Wokuotai was a little surprised. With Guyu's character, he could actually think like this.

This kid, either someone else is giving him some advice, or this kid has received some huge blow.

Next, Guyu changed the subject and began to talk about the Western Expedition.

He said that his military talent was indeed inferior to Batu, Meng Ge, and even inferior to Baidar.

The three of them are very powerful in leading troops in battles. Sometimes, I can at least be a little on par with Baidar.

But Meng Ge and Batu, he is indeed not as good as the other one, especially Batu.

Guyuk showed unusual praise and even some admiration for this eldest son of kings, even a younger brother than himself.

Then he began to narrate that when he conquered the land of Ross, he could only help Meng Ge and Batu.

The military capabilities of these two people are simply beyond their reach.

And there is a meaning in and out of the words, that is, he admires Batu extremely, and even follows him.

After reading the entire letter, Wo Kuotai frowned deeply.

His son did suffer a huge blow this time, and even many of his self-confidences were smoothed away.

This letter is full of trust and admiration for Batu, Meng Ge and others, and is optimistic about the Western Expedition. It also focuses on describing the situation in the local grasslands.

The fertility of the Kipchak grassland is much higher than that of the Mongolian grassland. Guyou even expressed in his letter that he hoped to graze and raise horses on the Kipchak grassland and would not return to Mongolia.

Seeing this, Wo Guotai's eyes widened. He originally thought that this letter should be given by Zhang Yong to Guyu, but looking at the current situation, it seems to be completely different from Guyu's final request!

Guiyou, this kid, might have suffered a huge blow this time! He didn't even want to fight for the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia. He just wanted to herd and raise horses on the western land.

But this is a little different from the letters sent by Batu, Meng Ge and others! Among Batu’s letters. First of all, I expressed my condolences to myself, the Mongolian Khan.

He also explained the situation of this western expedition, and then said that Guyou was always rushing to attack, and as the leader of the kings, he was not easy to manage.

It also shows that Brother Meng is very obedient and has great military talents. The meaning revealed in his words is to praise Brother Meng and belittle Guyu.

The letter that Brother Meng sent back was relatively simple. He just expressed his condolences to his adoptive father, and then said that he would listen to brother Guyou, and then also shared the strategies he proposed when he was in the Qinchak grassland, but Guyou was rejected. As for using it, he expressed very tactfully that he didn't mind Brother Guyu doing this.

Wo Kuotai frowned, frowned deeply, my son is praising you two, and even worships you two, but you two are talking bad about him? Although he didn't say it explicitly, the implication behind his words was that Guiyou didn't admire you two, but Guiyou's letter actually admired you both.

Wo Guotai knew the character of Gui You. He had been unruly and unruly since he was a child. He had a very flamboyant personality and would never easily convince anyone. The only outsider who could convince him was Zhang Yong.

Of course, there are other old Mongolian generals, but Guyu is not good at expressing himself. Even if he convinces someone, he will not give him a good look if the other party does not give him a good look.

A letter of complaint and a letter of praise. The person who wrote the letter of complaint was praised, but the person who wrote the letter of praise was accused.

This creates a great contrast. Wo Kuotai picked up another letter, which was sent by Zhang Yong.

The beginnings are basically the same, they are all condolences to myself, the Mongol Khan, and then briefly explain the situation of this Western Expedition.

After that, Zhang Yong began to talk about some things about the princes, and he praised the performance of Batu and Meng Ge very much, but he also revealed another meaning in his words, that is, since Meng Ge started the Western Expedition.

He always followed Batu and never returned to Guyu. Moreover, the two of them excluded Guyu and him. They divided their troops into two groups and stationed troops in Kiev Rus.

Guyu admired the two of them very much and wanted to bring Meng Ge to his side to give him advice, but Meng Ge refused many times, and even had some minor conflicts with Batu because of this matter.

But fortunately, it didn't happen in the end. Then, Zhang Yong clearly pointed out in the letter that Guyu's mental talent is indeed not as good as the other two. He is worse in all aspects and needs more training.

Then Zhang Yong began to introduce the West to Ogedei in detail, especially the Caspian Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the huge Qinchak grassland, and the southern Russian grassland.

He also drew a beautiful landscape painting and detailed maps, all of which are included in the letter.

It focuses on describing the fertility of the Kipchak grassland. The fertility of this grassland is far better than that of the Mongolian grassland, and is several times more than that of the Mongolian grassland.

Torregona, who was sitting aside, was a little anxious. She didn't know what happened. How was her son doing now? I only know that after reading the letter, my husband's face turned green, red, and white for a while.

"Big Khan! Big Khan! Guyu, Guyu, this kid has a bad temper.

Sometimes you are unwilling to admit defeat. Don't blame him. If anything happens, just scold him.

Don't punish him, we, we have lost a son. "Tregona said.

She thought that Guyou, this child had contradicted his father again in the letter, and even the letters sent by Zhang Yong were all about Guyou.

"It's not what you think. This kid is doing pretty well. He has grown up a lot during this Western Expedition. At least he has learned to see people and things, and he can see things very clearly." Wo Kuotai said with a slightly uneasy expression. said.

His son is fine, Wo Kuotai didn't blame his son, but, why do you look so bad?
"Did you know that in the letters written by Batu and Meng Ge, they were all blaming and uncomfortable with Guiyu, saying that Guiyou had been competing with them for war glory?" Wo Kuotai said.

"This, Khan! This child usually has a strong personality, and what happened to us Mongols snatching military honors? Didn't you do these things when you were young?" Toregona said.

Stealing military exploits is a common occurrence in Mongolia. Which of the sons of Genghis Khan and the sons of Mongolian generals is not like this? It seems that your son has done nothing wrong?

"You really didn't do anything wrong. Guiyu Xin, do you know what you said?" Wo Kuotai asked.

Torregona shook her head.

"Guiyou, this kid, admires Batu and Meng Ge very much, saying that their talents are far above his own, and that he can't match them, and he is a little frustrated.

He didn't even want to return to Mongolia, but wanted me to seal a piece of land for him in the west, and he would live and graze there in the future, and work for him under Batu's hands. "Wokuotai said.

What? How can you do this? Guiyou, what do you think, you bastard?

Your mother, I am here to work hard for you, constantly arranging matchmaking for you, and even win over a large group of kings from the west, and even some kings from the east.

I'm just waiting for you to come back and inherit the position of the great man after I die!
You kid is so frustrated that you even admire Batu and Meng Ge so much. Is this wrong?

But Guyu, this kid, actually changed his mind and learned to praise others.

But one letter is a letter of praise and the other is a letter of complaint, forming a sharp contrast. As an old martial artist, Torregona immediately realized what she should do to help her son obtain the greatest benefit.

"Great Khan! Our son didn't say bad things about others, and even praised others, but others said bad things about our son. Tell me, what's the reason for this?" Toregona said.

Wo Kuotai was also a little upset at this time. The letter written by his son was very strange, but one thing can be confirmed, that is. Meng Ge and Batu.

These two people are indeed very close now. Even Meng Ge, as soon as he established a foothold in the west, immediately kicked his son away and ran to hang out with Batu.

Moreover, the land area of ​​the Qinchak Grassland is extremely vast, larger than that of Mongolia's Mobei and Monan, and the water and grass are richer and the land is more fertile.

Wokuotai can be sure of this, because Subotai had been to that land before the Western Expedition.

After he came back, he also reported to Genghis Khan in detail. Both the words and the words revealed that he liked it. That grassland was much better than the current grassland of the Mongols.

It's just that Genghis Khan couldn't leave his hometown because of some things.

Although the goal of another western expedition was set, it has never been launched.

This time, the letters from his sons, Meng Batu and Zhang Yong, all have one thing in common, that is, the pasture is really rich.

One piece is so huge. If the fertile land is occupied by others, as long as it develops for several decades, it will definitely become more powerful than Mongolia itself in the future. Will your family be able to maintain its throne by then?

And if one day he dies, will there be any famous figures in their Ogedai family?
It seems like there really isn’t! In this generation of the Wo Kuotai family, the only people who can lead the army are Kuo Chu, Kuo Duan and Gui You. Kuo Chu is dead, and Kuo Duan is not even as good as Gui You in terms of leadership ability.

But even so, Guyu is still not as good as Batu, Meng Ge, and even slightly inferior to Baidar.

Not to mention the few remaining sons of Tu Lei, they are all the best among men. In Wo Kuotai's view, they are no worse than his own sons.

At this moment, Wo Kuotai suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He had killed Tuo Lei and completely eradicated the serious trouble in his position, but was he really at ease? Do your descendants really have peace of mind?
His eldest brother's son Batu and some of his other sons have established a huge force in the west. Now if we add the land gained from the Western Expedition.

Then the area of ​​territory they actually control is already larger than that of Mongolia. Even the combined territories of themselves and eldest brother Ogedei are not as big as Jochi's family.

Even if the Central Plains area is included, the land occupied by this Western Expedition is not as much, and how long has it been since the Western Expedition started!

It has only been two years, and it should have been three or four months since their letters were sent back. In these few months, they should have achieved some results.

Such a vast land and the surrender of so many Western countries gave Ogedai an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Before he died. It is true that he can suppress this boy Batu, but if he dies, who among the entire third generation of the Golden Family can suppress him?

If he comes to compete for the position of Great Khan of Mongolia in the future, who among his sons or even grandsons can stop him? The answer is no! No one can stop Batu.

Although he, Ogedai, set a series of new Mongolian rules, and even said that even a piece of stinky meat from his Ogedai family could ascend to the position of Mongolian Khan.

But what is the character of the Mongolians, what character and virtues do the members of their golden family have.

Wo Guotai knows it all too well. If your strength is not strong enough, who will care who you are?

And Brother Meng, this time, did not follow his son, but his brother! Instead, he followed another person, which was really unreasonable. (Because he was adopted as an adopted son by Wokuotai, Brother Meng is now nominally Guyu’s younger brother.)
He even wrote a letter to sue his most powerful eldest son. What does this mean? Do you want to punish the eldest son yourself, further weaken the eldest son, and then let you two continue to grow?

At this moment, Wo Kuotai seemed to have figured out all the problems. Zhang Yong was right.

This kid Guyu really lacks training and overall perspective. He is far different from Batu and Meng Ge. Even this time the Western Expedition was directly defeated by the two.

This was a situation he was extremely unwilling to see. His best son could not compare to the other party, and the other party was about to obtain greater rights and land. This was not acceptable.

"Great Khan! How are you going to deal with this matter?" Torregona said.

"Guiyou, this kid! He likes the land in the west very much. The Qinchak grassland is very fertile. Since he likes this land, I will reward him!" Ogedai thought for a moment and said.

The land of the Jochi family had already been decided during the enfeoffment. It was the land of Khwarazmo. Now, this newly acquired territory should be distributed to all those involved, rather than being exclusive to one family.

As the Great Khan of Mongolia, he naturally could not be partial. The descendants of his eldest brother Jochi got part of the north, but the part of the south was close to Hungary.

Connecting part of Mongolia's land, at least half of the western territory, Ogedei planned to reward his eldest son Guyu.

As for the land of the Jochi family, it is none of his business if it is not connected to the place they originally ruled.

Brother! Brother! I almost forgot that you are the most qualified among us to compete for the throne.

If my second son and I hadn't tricked you into talking about the academic tradition, my father would have really passed on the title of Great Khan of Mongolia to you.

Although you are dead now, your son has inherited your mantle and is still so outstanding, even better than my son.

In this case, you should go back to your own fiefdom! How long have you been neglecting me? The Jochi family has actually grown so powerful in just a few years.

Now if you occupy the more fertile western land, and even make hundreds of countries in the west surrender to you, then your power will not be much worse than Mongolia itself.

Such an extremely powerful threat is beside him. Wokuotai felt that the future of his family was extremely gloomy, and this boy from Shiliemen would definitely not be able to hold on to this inheritance.

No, I have to find a way to strengthen Guyu's power.

"Great Khan! What are you going to do? Among these expeditionary forces, the Batu family accounts for a large part of the army, and there are also people from the Tolei family." Toregona said.

"Hmph! Subotai will obey my orders. Zhang Yong will also obey my orders. The other kings of the West who follow Batu will also obey my orders. I am the Great Khan of Mongolia." Kuotai said with an ugly expression.

However, the matter of weakening the Batu family cannot be obvious. After all, the opponent has an army of nearly 100,000 people, and there is also an army of the Tuo Lei family.

I really didn’t expect that!

Boss, Fourth Brother, after you two died, you can still fight against yourself!

If that's the case, then don't blame me for being cruel, brother. If your sons stay honest and do what they should do, then I will give them a piece of land.

Let them rule, let them be khans, but if they threaten my position as the Great Khan of the Mongols, then I will not be polite to anyone.

Ogedai immediately wrote two letters, one of which was secretly written to Subotai and the other to Zhang Yong.

And a series of arrangements were started in the Mongolian headquarters to further suppress the Tuo Lei lineage.

They even invited the Tuo Lei children who stayed here, including Kublai Khan, Ali Buge, and their mother Soluhoteni, to Halahalin.

The reputation is that here, he can take good care of Tuo Lei's wife and children. At the same time, he secretly invited the important minister Yelu Chucai and his second brother Chagatai to come to meet him. (End of chapter)
