The truth was revealed. Brother Meng told Kublai Khan's explanation in public. The Mongolian Khan almost died on the spot.
After discovering that the person who fell in love with the alienation plot was actually him, Wo Kuotai felt ashamed and angry.
What he was ashamed of was that as the Great Khan of Mongolia, he was embarrassed in front of many Mongolian princes.
He was angry that he actually fell into the trap, and that people from Jin dared to play tricks on him like this.
Now even if Meng Ge and Kublai Khan had no suspicion before, they will now think that he is indeed suspicious, and they will have a grudge in their hearts, thinking that he has a guilty conscience.
At this time, as the communication between Ogedai and Kublai Khan became smoother, the true face of the entire incident was revealed in front of the Mongolian prince.
A barbarian named Zhao Tai, as a Jin State spy, hid in the Mongolian camp for two years. During the battle at Sanfeng Mountain, he poisoned Torre to death in order to turn the tide.
When the Jin army failed, the barbarian who had escaped from the Mongolian camp boldly led a group of Jin soldiers back to the Mongolian camp under the cover of night, burned the army's baggage and food, and alienated Kublai Khan and Wo Kuo. The relationship between Kublai Khan and Taiwan was hinted at by "his great achievements shocked the master", and it was Ogedai who sent him to poison Torre.
After that, Kublai Khan decided to withdraw his troops from Junzhou and not advance towards Kaifeng because he lost all his food, grass and baggage, and Torre died suddenly.
At this time, the barbarian named Zhao arranged for troops to lurk between Junzhou and Bianjing, intercepting and killing the envoy, causing Kublai Khan and Ogedai to lose contact.
A barbarian surnamed Zhao sent a messenger to death, disguised as a subordinate of Shi Tianze in Kublai Khan's army, and sent it to Wo Kuotai. Kublai fell into the trap and thought that Wo Kuotai sent people to poison Torre and wanted to return to the grassland for a meeting. Kuritai Conference, fake news about re-electing Khan.
Wokuotai believed it to be true. After the envoy he sent to contact was intercepted and killed again, he believed the false news and hurriedly withdrew his troops and returned to Mongolia.
At this point, the Kingdom of Jin temporarily escaped the crisis of destruction.
The barbarian surnamed Zhao, with his own strength, retreated two armies and fooled the Mongolian Khan, which made the Mongolian nobles very frightened.
From then on, the Mongolian princes all remembered that this barbarian named Zhao Tai labeled Zhao Tai as "dangerous" and "must kill".
"Father, the Jin people must pay the price!" Guyu said with a dark face.
Guyuk was the eldest son of Wokuotai, and his mother was Queen Naimazhen. He participated in the conquest of the Jin Kingdom in history, and the western expedition to Europe with Batu, and was the third Great Khan of Mongolia.
In this incident, Wokuotai and his family were completely humiliated in front of the Mongolian nobles, which made him very angry.
Kuo Duan lowered his head. He was half responsible for Wo Kuotai falling into the trap, and he didn't dare to speak at all now.
After venting his emotions, Wo Kuotai finally calmed down and collected his emotions, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
"I must avenge this!" Wo Kuotai said with a ferocious face, "I will send troops now to attack the Kingdom of Jin and capture Zhao Tai alive!"
Although the Mongolian side has not yet confirmed whose idea it was to alienate him, Zhao Tai poisoned Tuo Lei and alienated him from the Tuo Lei department.
Wo Kuotai's intuition told him that this Zhao Tai was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Prime Minister Yelu Chucai frowned when he heard that Wokuotai was about to send troops.
This time, the whole of Mongolia was fooled by a young man. Although Yelu Chucai was angry, he was still relatively calm, so he admonished: "Great Khan, I'm afraid it's not the right time to attack at this time."
Wokuotai glared at him, "The Kingdom of Jin was wiped out by this Khan, with 150,000 elites wiped out. If it is not destroyed now, when will it be more?"
"Great Khan, although the Jin Kingdom has suffered heavy losses, the Yellow River has thawed and our army cannot cross the Yellow River for the time being. Jin only needs to defend Tongguan. In this way, the Jin Kingdom's military strength should be sufficient for the time being." Yelu Chucai Expressing his thoughts, "Besides, the army has just returned to the grassland, and the people and horses are exhausted. The horses cannot eat new grass, which will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of our army!"
Wo Kuotai frowned and said, "That Khan will once again take advantage of the Song Dynasty to attack the Jin Kingdom."
Yelu Chucai shook his head again, "Khan, this time the mine-towing tunnel was successful, mainly because the Southern Song Dynasty was not prepared. The Song State must have strengthened their defenses now. If we force the tunnel again, I'm afraid it won't achieve the same effect as last time. It will also force the Southern Song Dynasty to side with the Jin Kingdom and allow the Jin and Song Dynasties to unite."
The current attitude of the Southern Song Dynasty is actually quite swinging. On the one hand, it has a feud with the Jin Kingdom and hopes to destroy the Jin Kingdom. On the other hand, it is worried that after the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, Mongolia will attack the Song Kingdom.
After all, Wokuotai was a Mongolian Khan, not a reckless man. He listened to Yelu Chucai's words, but he was really angry.
If he was asked to wait another year, he would probably become ill from shame and anger and die suddenly.
"Is there no other way?" Wo Kuotai punched the table in annoyance, causing the kumiss to spill.
Seeing Wokuotai's appearance, Yelu Chucai muttered: "It's not impossible, unless the Southern Song Dynasty agrees to borrow the road."
Wo Kuotai stood up and paced back and forth in the tent. This incident was a big blow to his reputation, and it also expanded his distrust with the Thunder Department.
The spies of the Jin Kingdom said that Kublai Khan had fallen into a divorce plot, so he gave up the attack on Bianjing and ran back to the grassland in a hurry, which showed that he did not trust Meng Ge and Kublai Khan, and his heart was full of suspicion.
Now that there are cracks within Mongolia, Ogedei must re-establish his prestige and repair the cracks.
The best way at this time is to destroy the money and avenge Tuo Lei.
Mie Jin can wash away his shame and avenge Tuo Lei, and he can appease Tuo Lei's family and mend the cracks between the two sides.
Therefore, Wokuotai must destroy gold no matter what.
At this time, he stopped and ordered in a deep voice, "I will send an envoy to the Southern Song Dynasty to ask the Southern Song Dynasty to join forces with me to destroy the Jin Dynasty. In addition, if I continue to send orders, I will avenge the Tu Lei and not destroy the Jin Kingdom." and Lin.”
Yelu Chucai heard the words and did not stop him. Now raising the banner of revenge for Torre can indeed reunite the Mongolian nobles and repair the internal rifts.
Kuo Duan, who had been silent at this time, waited for the opportunity. He saluted and said: "Father Khan, I am willing to go to the Song Dynasty as an envoy to help my father Khan and the Southern Song Dynasty reach an agreement to jointly eliminate the gold."
Wokuotai glanced at him and understood that he wanted to make up for his past mistakes, "Okay! Let's discuss the content of the agreement, and then you can leave for the Southern Song Dynasty immediately."
~~~~~~
Bianjing City.
Zhao Tai did not move into the big house that Wanyan Shouxu rewarded, but continued to stay in the small courtyard.
In his opinion, although the city defense of Bianjing is perfect, it is too easy for troops to attack the city and it will be captured by the Mongols sooner or later.
Therefore, he does not plan to use this mansion for himself, but plans to give it away as soon as it is valuable and use it to build relationships.
In Bianjing City, the Privy Council judge moved outside Pu'a's residence, and Zhao Tai got off his horse.
At this time, the guard standing at the door immediately shouted: "Who is it?"
Zhao Tai smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Please report to the Prime Minister, just say that Zhao Tai wants to see you!"
