Listening to Dahan's excitement and chatting about his "wisdom", everyone was mixed with feelings. They knew that this was due to their fear of the Southern Army. Before, everyone advised Dahan to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but Dahan refused to leave on the grounds of his physical pretentiousness, so he must have been worried about criticism from his subordinates and thought he was timid and timid.

Now with He Weixian's analysis, he found the right reason for the Khan to dare not return to Beijing. After being frustrated for many days, he was eager to whitewash himself, and he couldn't help but get excited. But everyone knew in their hearts that if the Southern Dynasties really launched a northward invasion and the Khan stayed outside the border and did not return, it would definitely lead to panic and morale, and they were afraid that the Central Plains would not defend.

"If the Khan invades the South and the North, he should return to Beijing to take charge of the overall situation and plan a countermeasure. There are tens of thousands of elite guards stationed in the capital. It is not easy for the Southern Dynasties to drive straight into the city of Dadu!" After Tiemur finished venting, he gradually calmed down, An Tong said.

"The Secretariat said it is reasonable. If you stay away from the capital outside the border, there will always be delays in the transmission of information. If there is any war, you may miss the opportunity for the fight!" Korigis also advised.

"That is, now deployed in Shandong, the sect kings of Henan have their own territory. Without the will, they dare not leave their fiefdom without permission, and they will inevitably be defeated by the Southern Army one by one. Moreover, the guards are facing war and cannot be unified in command and dispatch. The dragons are in chaos and cannot effectively resist the invasion of the Southern Army." Zhang Gui also understood that the Khan was worried that returning to the capital would become a trapped beast, and the matter was urgent. After weighing the pros and cons, he still thought that returning to the capital was the best.

"What do He Wanhu think?" Tie Muer actually felt that it was inappropriate to stay outside the border for a long time, and it would inevitably damage his reputation for a long time, but he really didn't want to fall into the trap. He pondered for a moment and turned his face to ask He Weixian.

"I think it is better to put the dragon body of the Great Khan first, and wait until the body is to be well maintained before moving. And as the Secretary Ling and Shushu said, if the Southern Dynasties violated the territory, it would not be a matter of day and night. You can send the central important officials to return to Beijing to hold a gold medal and dispatch the troops to arrange defense, and find out the movements of the Southern Dynasties and the intention of the Northern Dynasties as soon as possible. The Great Khan sets back to Beijing after the health is improved, and if the Southern Dynasties really violated the territory, they can go back in time to take charge of the overall situation!" He Weixian replied.

"The words of the Wanhu are feasible, that is, to ensure the health of the dragon body and not to miss the matter ahead!" Li Siyan nodded. He also understood that the Khan is unwilling to return to Beijing to take risks, and this method took into account the face of the Khan and gave him a step forward. It is the best solution at the moment.

"Well, then please let the envoy take the lead, sit in the capital, and coordinate the troops to guard against the invasion of the south and north. I will return to the capital as soon as possible when I am well!" Tiemur was very pleased and looked at Korigis and said.

"I will leave to Beijing early tomorrow morning and fulfill my mission. The trust of the Khan!" Korigis immediately stood up and said with a tribute.

"The proposal that He Wanhu just mentioned should not be ignored. We must send someone to investigate carefully to find out the true intentions of the Southern Dynasty." Tiemur reminded again.

"I have written it down!" Korigis promised.

Tiemur's heart disease was cured and he was in a good mood. Not only was he in the mood to chat with a few people, but he also gave him lunch. After the banquet, he also asked Fang Chenyou to free up a yard near the palace in the city for He Weixian to live in, so that he could summon things to call him. He Weixian naturally refused again and again, saying that it was so unruly, but he could only accept it.

"He Wanhu, I will set off to return to Beijing to prepare for war tomorrow. Please give me any advice if you have any good ideas!" Everyone left the palace, Kurigis deliberately slowed down a few steps, walked side by side with He Weixian, and asked him for advice.

"How dare you!" He Weixian bowed.

"Hey, what He Wanhu said in the hall just now is very insightful, and it is definitely not a false statement. I just want to know how long the Sect King Guards arranged in Henan and Shandong can block the Southern Army if they invade the south and north?" asked Kurigis.

"From the experience of the previous battle with the Southern Army, the following officials can cross the Yellow River and invade the hinterland of Shandong in less than half a month if the Southern Army attacks along the canal. And if they take Kaifeng, they will probably be able to occupy Henan and enter Hebei in more than a month!" He Weixian thought about it.

"Are the guards of the sect so vulnerable?" Korigis said in shock. He knew that the army of the sect who had selected to enter the Central Plains were all capable soldiers who had participated in several rebellions to combat, but it was difficult for them to stop the offensive of the Southern Army.

"Supervisor may be unbelievable, but this is by no means an exaggeration." He Weixian sighed softly, "The guards of the sect are good at cavalry fighting and circumventing, but are not good at defending the city. Moreover, the South armies are sharp and heavy armor are difficult to stop. Our army will suffer heavy losses and will not be defeated when fighting against each other. We must avoid attacking them, but be good at leveraging the advantages of the cavalry and dealing with them. In addition, the climate of the Southern Dynasty is warmer than that of the Central Plains, so the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty are not resistant to the severe cold and are not used to fighting in the wind and snow. This is also where we can use it. Besides..."

"What else? Please speak out!" Kurigis saw He Weixian suddenly showing a look of distress, and wanted to speak but stopped, and urged him.

"Alas, the officials are worried that the sect king's guards will be embarrassed by the great task!" He Weixian thought about it and sighed, "Now the sect kings are guarding their own bans. The officials sent by the court may collude with them for profit, or are excluded and cannot be taken into account, so they cannot tolerate others' intervention. Once the war breaks out, they will fight on their own and refuse to support each other, and they will be taken advantage of by the Southern Army and defeated one by one!"

"What He Wanhu said is very true, and it is what I worry about the most..." After hearing this, Korigis immediately frowned.

According to the military system of the Mongolian Yuan, military deployment was adjusted after the destruction of the Song Dynasty. In the areas south of the Huai River, Mongolian troops were rare. Usually, provincial garrison troops were composed of Han soldiers from the northern part of the Central Plains and Han surrendered soldiers from the Southern Song Dynasty. The major cities in the south of the Yangtze River and the transportation hubs in the Yangtze River basin were garrisoned by Mongolian troops, while remote areas with relatively unimportant strategic positions did not require special defense.

In terms of relations with the central government, there are also differences between the Mongolian army and the Han army. Mongolian garrison troops, especially those stationed in the northern part of the Central Plains, the Mongolian grasslands, and the northeastern region, are directly under the Ministry of War; while Han garrison troops south of the Huai River are responsible to their local provinces.

The Yuan court hoped that this scattered command structure could maintain control over the southern military and effectively prevent power from being too concentrated in the hands of a certain commander, so as not to cause dangerous consequences. Usually, one of the methods to improve the reliability of military control is to be the Mongolians or Central Asians to serve as the highest commander of the province and directly appointed by the Ministry of War.

In order to ensure autocratic centralization and the central government's strategy of "localizing and controlling less" over local areas, the Yuan Dynasty followed the Han system. After the unification, the Mongolian army guarded the northern part of the desert and was led by the kings, and there were not many left in the Central Plains. The central guards were basically composed of two systems, Mongolian and Han, mainly Han army, and not many Mongolian army were incorporated into the personal guards.

However, this system was broken in the battle to restore the country in the Southern Dynasty, and the Han army and the New Affiliated Army were almost wiped out. In the subsequent Northern invasion, the guards of Wanhu Prefecture, the Mongolian capital of Wanhu Prefecture, Shandong, Henan, and Wanhu Prefecture, Jingxiang, were hit hard, and the guards of the guards in the capital of the capital were also severely damaged.

Under this circumstance, the Yuan court had to transfer the king army of the grassland to guard the Central Plains and rebuild the personal army of the guards. Due to the economic system, national system and political situation, the Zhenjin attempted to establish the king army of the Youzong acted as the main force to guard the borders of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and re-attack the two Huaihe Rivers. The idea of ​​using the personal army of the grassland to curb the kings of the grasslands and to defend the capital of the capital soon collapsed after his death.

The imperial court was in financial difficulties and could not support so many troops. The Zongwang Army, who entered the guards, was not suitable for farming, and in the end they could only provide support to local provinces. However, the local guards under the jurisdiction of the provinces were under the jurisdiction of the provinces, due to the meager military pay, insufficient military strength, depressed morale, and heavy taxes and service, which caused a large number of military households to flee. They were already in name only and could not assume the responsibility of guarding the local area, so they could only pay to hire those militia groups to quell the rebellion and suppress the bandits.

As for those sect kings who did whatever they wanted in their fiefs, imposed taxes, robbed fertile land, issued decrees without authorization, and disobeyed the court, and even allowed soldiers to cross the boundary to rob wealthy families. The sect kings who were near the border colluded with illegal merchants to participate in smuggling, trafficking in persons, reselling military supplies, and even reselling war horses that were strictly prohibited from transiting to the Southern Dynasty.

Just as He Weixian said that the officials in the province could not be banned, they either sighed and did nothing, or simply felt a frustration with the sect kings and acted as their accomplices. Their arbitrary behavior caused local politics to be corrupt, bandits were rampant, the people were resentful and unrest. These became the reasons for their abuse of force and were bargaining chips for seeking credit from the court.

The struggle for interests has caused many conflicts between the kings and kings, and they can do everything they can to fight openly and secretly. There were only a dozen conflicts of more than a thousand people. In this case, it seems difficult to expect them to cooperate and support each other in the case of a large-scale invasion of the Southern Dynasty.

Faced with such chaos, the court had no good idea, but they needed these sect kings to defend the border against the attack of the Southern Dynasty, so they could only turn a blind eye. Last year, a holy orders the Daruwachi, who appointed these sect kings as fiefs, and also manages local administration and can appoint officials. In this way, they became real local emperors, and the provincial system was already in name only.

"Sir Shu is here to lead the military in front. I'm really making things difficult for you in this situation!" Seeing that Kurigis's face was gloomy, He Weixian sighed softly.

"I just know the destiny of heaven and do my best!" Korigis also realized that it would be difficult for these guards to curb the increasingly powerful Southern Dynasties, and he could not in the subsequent Northern Invasion War that could break out. He felt helpless.

"Shishou, although the current situation seems uncontrollable, there is still a turning point, but this also requires the support of the Khan and tough means!" He Weixian said slowly.

"Oh, He Wanhu has a good idea, tell me quickly!" Korigis asked anxiously after hearing this.
