Chapter 281 Launching a War 1

A few days later, everyone in Lao Zhu's family brought good news to Duan Zhengchun. With their "painstaking" persuasion, Emperor Song agreed to form an alliance with Dali.

"It's great. The two countries have formed an alliance and help each other. Even if the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry are unparalleled, the two countries can protect themselves."

Duan Zhengchun was happy. He didn't care whether the alliance was the intention of the Song Emperor or the old Zhu family. He only knew that Dali would be much safer with the alliance between the two countries.

Among all the countries in the world, Dali has the smallest territory and the weakest strength. Without a solid and reliable ally, life will be really difficult.

"I have a suggestion. Is King Zhennan willing to listen to it?"

Lao Zhu said softly, with a hint of insidiousness flashing through his eyes.

"Appreciate further details."

Duan Zhengchun suppressed the joy on his face and said solemnly.

"In today's world, although all the countries are in a powerful alliance, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Mongolian Yuan is unstoppable and its national power is far superior to other countries."

"If the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty is allowed to develop, all countries will be in danger. Sooner or later, the Mongolian Yuan cavalry will trample the country and lose the ancestral country."

It's a pity that at this time and that time, the Zhu family has the final say in the current Song Dynasty. The Zhu family is not cowardly, and he cannot scare the old Zhu family.

"Duan will write to the emperor to ask for his opinion. He must be persuaded to listen to the opinions of your lords. All countries must join forces to attack Meng Yuan's arrogance."

"Prime Minister, can you please explain more clearly?"

"Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing can do it!"

Being frightened by Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao, Duan Zhengchun, who had not experienced much political struggle, could not cope with it easily, and he could not help but feel fear.

It has to be said that Yelu Chucai did know the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty very well. If it were in the past, there would be no need to attack Xiangyang. Just a movement of the army would scare the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty into trembling.

"I, the Holy Emperor of the Song Dynasty, intend to ally with other countries and join forces to attack and cut off the expansion of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty."

"I believe that this alliance of countries was initiated by the Song State. If we want to interrupt the smooth alliance of various countries, we should start from the Song State."

"The kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty are weak. For some unknown reason, they dare to join forces with other countries and intend to take the initiative to attack our country, the Yuan Dynasty."

However, there are constant conflicts between countries. If we want to put aside our prejudices and jointly send troops to attack the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, we can't just talk about it.

Now that the sheep have to learn to resist, it's okay. They must be severely suppressed and struck hard to kill the buds of resistance to the Meng Yuan will as early as possible.

"In Liao, Xixia, Tubo, and Jin, I will send people to explain the pros and cons and promote an alliance. It depends on whether Dali is willing to attack together with us."

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China was just a short time ago, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty's habits have not yet changed, and the emperor is still called "Great Khan" instead of "Your Majesty" or "Holy Majesty."

Yelu Chucai, Prime Minister of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, stepped out of the crowd and said: "The internal corruption of each country and the fierce competition on the battlefield will make it impossible for one country to compete with our Yuan Dynasty."

Yelu Chucai's words made the senior officials of the Meng Yuan Dynasty very unhappy. They were a people on horseback. They were brave and fearless in fighting on the battlefield, but they knew nothing about political strategies because they could not understand what Yelu Chucai said.

"However, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. The kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty were all greedy for life, afraid of death, and as timid as rats."

Meng Ge, the Emperor of the Meng Yuan Dynasty who "accidentally" received the news, was furious and furious.

"All countries have joined forces to take the initiative to attack, intending to overthrow our Yuan Dynasty. It is a wishful thinking!"

"But if all countries unite together, they will definitely pose a great threat to our Great Yuan. The Great Khan must not be careless."

"What do you think, Prime Minister?"

"The King of Zhennan must not want to see the country of Dali destroyed, the ancestral temple destroyed, and the country reduced to ruins one day!"

"As long as we work together as one, Meng Yuan has nothing to fear."

“I’m afraid it’s not easy to join forces with other countries to take the initiative?”

"The Great Khan only needs to order the frontline soldiers to attack Xiangyang fiercely, and show that he will not give up until Xiangyang is destroyed, so as to intimidate the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. It will not take long before the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty will automatically give up the idea of ​​forming alliances with other countries."

He was lustful and unrestrained, but he was not heartless. He never wanted to see Dali trampled by the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry, the ancestral temples and the country destroyed, and the people displaced.

Duan Zhengchun hesitated and said that he was a little tempted by Lao Zhu's proposal and it was better to take the initiative than sit back and wait for death.

The joint attack by various countries indeed poses a high threat to Meng Yuan, and he must treat it with the calmest attitude.

"For the sake of our country and the common people, please ask the King of Zhennan to give more advice to Emperor Baoding. In this period when the Mongolian and Yuan powers are strong, we and other countries can only resist if we unite together."

"Since Dali has formed an alliance with our country, does it intend to participate in this grand event?"

Everyone in Lao Zhu's family laughed. With Duan Zhengchun's words, they were relieved. Dali was about to enter the game. Can other countries be far behind?

Duan Zhengming, Emperor of Baoding in Dali, must have far stronger political IQ than Duan Zhengchun, and would not be easily manipulated by them, but Duan Zhengming had a fatal weakness.

After looking at the old Zhu family, he was not surprised. It was true that the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers were cowardly, but it did not mean that the Zhu family was also cowardly. This family was all ruthless people.

Lao Zhu said in a serious tone: "At this time of crisis, we and other countries should join hands to fight against the Mongolian Yuan."

Take the initiative to attack Meng Yuan?

Duan Zhengchun had a look of astonishment on his face. He thought he was hearing hallucinations. Song Ting, who always adhered to the profound meaning of the word "coward" and would never fight if he could defend himself, had such great courage!

A group of high-ranking officials in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty were even more indignant. In their eyes, all countries were like sheep grazing on their pastures and could only be slaughtered by them.

Zhu Biao sang along with Lao Zhu and added:

"I also ask the King of Zhennan not to take any chances. The Meng Yuan Dynasty rose on the grassland and was not taught by the king. It is not uncommon for the iron cavalry to trample over it without leaving a blade of grass. Villages and cities are massacred."

A general wearing leather armor, tall and thick, with a sturdy build said displeasedly.

Lao Zhu's expression remained unchanged, and he said coaxingly and bluffingly: "The Meng Yuan Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, the iron cavalry rides on it, the city is ruined, and the country is in turmoil."

At the same time, people were also asked to spread the news that various countries were about to join forces to take the initiative in a relatively secretive way, preferably to fall into the ears of the senior officials of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

Meng Ge's anger subsided and asked.

That is, he has no heirs. In the future, the inheritance of the throne of Dali will depend on Duan Zhengchun and Duan Yu. Duan Zhengchun supports joining forces to take the initiative to attack Meng Yuan. Can Duan Zhengming ignore Duan Zhengchun's wishes?

After leaving the posthouse where Duan Zhengchun lived, everyone in Lao Zhu's family struck while the iron was hot and wrote to the kings of various countries, clarifying that the Song Dynasty intended to unite all countries and proactively declare war on the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, hoping that all countries would be smarter.

"Great Khan, I think what the Prime Minister said is reasonable. We only need to intimidate the Song Dynasty and make the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers give up the idea of ​​​​confronting the Yuan Dynasty, and the alliance of various countries will be destroyed without any attack."

King Ruyang opened his mouth and said.

He was considered a rare educated person among the senior leaders of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and he understood Yelu Chucai's suggestions most thoroughly.

Because like Yelu Chucai, he knew the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty very well. He could not stand being frightened by the word "coward".
