Chapter 12: The Chaos of History
[There's nothing much to say. Come and vote for me.] Including this chapter, the book had 50000 words and was on the list.]
In the spring of February, the earth began to recover, and the grass broke through the soil to see the world.
The Mongolian army had basically prepared their rations and had already begun to attack Xiangyang.
In the middle of February, Guo Xiang asked Jin Lun to bring her to Brother Yang. Although she believed that Yang Guo would be fine, she was still worried. Jin Lun also wanted to compete with Yang Guo and let Guo Xiang call him master.
Li Liuyan thought that there was no point in following them to the Unrequited Love Valley. Anyway, it would be dangerous but not dangerous. It was better to go to Xiangyang and wait for them. She looked for Hu Bilie and said that she was going to Xiangyang.
Hubilai Khan quickly said,"Sir, is it because I didn't entertain you well enough?" Why are you suddenly leaving?]
Li Liuyan said,"I have been here for more than four months. I want to go to Xiangyang to take a look."]
Kublai Khan said,"Sir, the tuition fees I owe are too expensive. I can't take out so much gold at once. Please stay here for a few more days so that I can slowly pay off my debt."]
Li Liuyan knew that Hu Bilie was trying to keep her here, so she said,[Wealth is like floating clouds to me. Just give me the account book. If I need money in the future, I'll go to you to get it.]
Hu Bilie's first plan failed, so he came up with another one.[Sir, our army is about to attack Xiangyang. Isn't it dangerous for you to go there? Why don't we attack Xiangyang? It won't be too late for you.]
Li Liuyan said,"Fourth Prince, do you think you can take Xiangyang this time?"]
Kublai Khan said,"We have been attacking Xiangyang for many years without success. The Great Khan has sent nearly three hundred million troops this time, but the garrison of Xiangyang is only thirty thousand. As the saying goes, we have to surround Xiangyang ten times more. Although Xiangyang is a great city, it is only a matter of time before we take it."] The Meng army only had two hundred thousand men, so Kublai Lie reported in a panic.
Li Liuyan scoffed,"A matter of time?" Inner Mongolia will definitely be defeated in January.]
Hu Bilie had not had the chance to discuss military matters with Li Liuyan. He quickly said,[Sir, why do you say that?]
Li Liuyan didn't answer and said,"If you don't believe me, I can make a bet with you. I won't lose in Inner Mongolia for a month. You can do whatever you want with me."]
Kublai Khan thought that although Xiangyang was difficult to attack, how could he dare to say that he would be defeated in a month? However, he remembered that Li Liuyan had never been wrong before, so he was a little hesitant. In the end, he chose to believe in his years of experience and said,[Although the war is ever-changing, Xiangyang is heavily surrounded by our army. It is impossible for our army to defeat Yang in a month.]
Li Liuyan said,"Since you say so, why are you afraid that I will go to Xiangyang?" If it is as you expected, I will wait for you in Xiangyang on the day the city is broken, are you afraid that I will fly away? Or do you think I won't be Xu Shu?]
Hu Bilie thought to himself,'That's right. Even if I force him to stay, it's useless if he doesn't say anything. It's better to let him go to Xiangyang. It won't be difficult for him to last for a month.' Then he said,"If the Mongol army is not defeated in a month, will you submit to me?"]
Li Liuyan said,"If it's not the Mongolian army that loses, it doesn't count as my victory. If I lose, I'll do as you please."]
"Sir, you cannot help the Song army when you go to Xiangyang," said Kublai Khan.]
Li Liuyan said,"I'm leaving for private matters, not state affairs."]
"If that's the case," said Kublai Khan,"then in your words, sir.]
Li Liuyan bid farewell to Kublai Khan and went to Guo Xiang's place. She saw that she had already packed her luggage.
Guo Xiang said,"Did Little Four agree to let you go to Xiangyang?"]
Li Liuyan nodded.
Guo Xiangzou pulled out a hairpin from his head and handed it to Li Liuyan. Big Brother Li, when you arrive at Xiangyang, show this hairpin to my parents and tell them that I'm fine.]
Li Liuyan agreed.
The next day, after Li Liuyan saw off Jin Lun and Guo Xiang, she bade farewell to Kublai Khan and set off for Xiangyang.
When they left Jiaxing, Li Liuyan was a thin horse dressed in green. Now, they were going to Xiangyang on three horses. One of them was riding, and the other two were carrying a full load of luggage. Both of them had come from Kublai Khan's [Shaking Point].
Hu Bilie showed Zi Cong the brocade pouch that Li Liuyan had left for him and said,[Sir gave me this at the end and said that if there was an emergency, I could open it and take a look. What do you think?]]
Although Zi Cong didn't have a good impression of Li Liu Yan, he admired her resourcefulness. After asking about the situation, he looked at her carefully and said,[Your Highness, why don't you open it and take a look?]
"How can we do that?" asked Kublai Khan.]
Zi Cong narrowed his eyes and analyzed,"First, Li Liuyan only said that it was dangerous to open it, but she never said that it was not the right time to open it. Secondly, as Li Liuyan had said, in the future, if His Highness encountered a difficult problem, this would be the solution. No matter how suitable it was, the solution would not change. If he had known earlier, he could have made plans earlier. "Thirdly, I've observed Li Liuyan. Although she has a strategy, she likes to play pranks. With her nature, she might not have a solution. Instead, she wrote about what would happen to the prince and surprise him. Fourth, there might be nothing inside.]
Kublai Khan paced back and forth in deep thought.
Zi Cong added,"From this, it can be seen that no matter what's inside, we can open it now."]
Hu Bilie did not hesitate and took out his so-called ace up his sleeve to look at it. Zi Cong also unconsciously stretched his head over.
After reading it, the two of them were shocked.[Brother Meng is dead. Brother Ali is sweating. Only Xiao Si is left. How tragic!] How tragic! [Miserable!] The two of them were not only shocked by the contents, but also by Li Liuyan's crooked handwriting.
After a while, Kublai Khan burned the cloth and said,[As expected, Sir is just playing a prank. If the Great Khan really passed away, then it would be useless to know this news. Originally, Teacher said that the Mongolia would be defeated in January, and I was puzzled. Now that I think about it, if the Great Khan really died, I would go back and take the throne. The Mongolia would really be defeated.]
Zi Cong pondered and said,"I just don't know if this is true."]
Kublai Lie waved his hand and said,"It's better to be prepared. Hurry back and contact my tribe to make preparations."]
Zi Cong understood what Hu Bilie was thinking. He was a man of great talent and great strategy, and had coveted the throne of the Great Khan for a long time. However, Brother Meng was also extraordinary. He had military power and was not confident of victory. Now that he had the chance, even if the credibility was only ten percent, Kublai Khan would still try. He burned the brocade bag because he was afraid that Brother Meng would know about it.
Li Liuyan was currently riding a horse leisurely. She had no idea that her mischievous prank would have a major impact on history. In the butterfly effect, when a small butterfly flapped its wings, it would cause a dragon wind to appear in a certain place. Moreover, Li Liuyan had let Kublai Khan know such important news. Moreover, he believed it and made preparations.
In history, after the death of Brother Meng, his two younger brothers, Kublai Khan and Ali Buge, called themselves Khans in Kaiping and Lin, the capital of Mongolia, respectively, and fought a four-year civil war. In the end, Kublai Khan won. After four years of recuperation, he launched another war against Xiangyang. After another six years of arduous defense of Xiangfan, the Mongolia finally attacked Xiangyang. From then on, the gateway of the Southern Song Dynasty was completely opened.
Due to a joke from Li Liuyan, Kublai Khan had the upper hand. In just three years, he defeated Alibuge and ended the Mongolian civil strife. At the same time, Kublai Khan used the knowledge he had learned from Li Liuyan, such as [The Theory of a Rich Country]. The three years of civil strife not only did not cause chaos in Mongolia, but also made the country stronger to a certain extent. In the third year, Kublai Khan issued an order to capture Xiangyang at all costs. He was in such a hurry not only to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, but also to find Li Liuyan, the person who made you noble. He deeply believed that without him, he would not have been able to ascend to the throne of the Great Khan so smoothly, and would not have been able to make the country so rich and powerful in just three years.
One misstep could cause a thousand years of regret. If Li Liuyan knew that his joke had caused such a huge consequence, what would he think? What would he do?
Of course, these were all words that came later, so they were not mentioned for the time being. However, I think our protagonist will definitely be able to turn the tide.
[PS: This novel is definitely not about hegemony.]
