.    Ancient prairie.  The horns of the cows are blasting.  Enthusiastic herdsmen sang loudly.  Soldiers returning home happily.

    The soldiers have been fighting in the Western Expedition for five years.  The return of this moment.  Let the whole prairie become a sensation.  Received unprecedented popularity.  -After a drop.  Every time I pass a tent.  will cause violent responses.  Countless herdsmen came out to welcome their warriors.  Discover the warriors in your own tribe.  Will hold him to talk, laugh and ask questions.  After knowing that a familiar friend died in battle in a foreign land.  But he will cry again.  Tears flowed.

    Scenes like this kept happening along the way.  Happy.  sad.  pain.  Miss you.  Countless emotions follow this team as they move forward.  Keep spreading.  Let the whole prairie know.  Their warriors are home.

    As the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army, Tuo Lei continues to be welcomed by enthusiastic herdsmen.  Six years of fighting had not made him haggard.  On the contrary, he became more and more heroic.  Gu Pan proudly.  Many people said.  He looks very much like Genghis Khan in his youth.  This makes Tuo Lei, who has always regarded his father as his idol, very happy.  He felt that he was one step closer to his father.

    In the welcome of grassland herdsmen.  Tuo Lei leads the army.  Gradually towards the Khan's station.  It was also at this time that the political center of the Mongolian Khanate, Harakhorin, approached.

    Along the way.  The tow mine appears.  The tribes on the steppes were thicker than when he had left them.  Population and slaves in the tribe.  It is even more full of the grassland in front of you.  This made him very happy.  At the same time, I also understood.  In the years since it opened.  His brother the Great Khan was no slouch.  The grassland was prosperous under his management.  Although this is also due to the treasure slaves he looted.  But looking at the smiling faces of these herdsmen, he knew.  As an elder brother, he lived up to his father's original expectations.  Finally, the Mongol Khanate was saved from the danger of collapse.  And there has been greater development.

    "Father, you are comparing me to Third Brother. I am indeed only suitable for leading troops to fight. Please rest assured. I will definitely abide by my oath from now on. Help Third Brother manage Mongolia and I will remind him what he forgot. He didn't notice.  I will help him protect it. I will let Gu stand erect again and turn the blue sky into a pasture for our Mongolian people. Including the Song Dynasty that made you regretful."

    Drag the thunder in my heart secretly.  At the same time, he looked at a grassland in the distance: there.  That's where Genghis Khan grew up.

    "Fourth uncle. How do you think the Great Khan will reward us this time?" He said.  A brave and strong Mongolian boy rushed over on horseback.  His eyes are agile and his expression is strong and bold.  It was Batu, Chi's successor.

    This time, Batu led half of the troops in the western expedition.  So he became the deputy commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition.  But in the Western Expedition.  He and Ogedai's eldest son.  Chagatai's son Yesumeng Ge had great conflicts.  It all depends on the tow mine to maneuver around it.  and move the two sides apart.  It didn't cause any big problems.

    Hear his inquiry.  Tuo' smiled and said: "The reward will definitely be many. But the main purpose of our western expedition this time is to restore the strength of the prairie and find a way to deal with the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, the former goal was achieved but the latter goal was not.  Reached. It seems that we still can't launch an attack on Song State." Somehow.  When Tuo Lei said this.  Thinking of Zhao Caiyun who I have always missed.  I wonder if she knows I'm back?

    In the midst of melancholy.  Those who had never seen the power of the Song Army laughed loudly: "Fourth Uncle, this time we marched westward. After tens of thousands of miles, we destroyed dozens of countries. We gained countless wealth and slaves. We have countless people.  The craftsmen work for us. Is the Song Dynasty, just a country, more powerful than these countries?"

    Tuo Lei, whose thoughts were interrupted, was alive.  Instead, he smiled and explained to him: "It can't be compared like this. Those countries are no more powerful than ferocious hunting dogs. But Song State is a big poisonous snake entrenched in the forest. Not only is it thick-skinned, it is difficult to attack. Even they  The venom of them is gunpowder. It cannot be resisted by human power. We Mongolia are fighting against them. There is not much chance of winning."

    They all snorted.  Doesn't seem to believe it.  But he didn't say any more.

    Look at this most satisfying sub.  Tuo Lei did not continue.  young people.  You have to experience setbacks before you can truly grow up.  When I was his age.  Isn't it full of arrogance?  Look down on anyone.  Until I met Zhao Caiyun.

    Thinking of that heroic and extraordinary woman.  Tou Lei is a sigh.

    When Tuo Lei and Batu both fell into silence.  The servants in their team were already marveling at the beauty and size of the prairie.  There were scattered exclamations from time to time.  Make the steppe Mongolians in the team proud.  Very happy too.  Although Lord Tolei has announced that these people will be merged into the Mongolian tribes.  But these high noses.  Huihui people with yellow eyes.  It always makes them feel a little looked down upon.  See their look of amazement.  It also satisfies the pride in my heart to a certain extent.  Make them look into each other's eyes.  Even more arrogant.

    The prairie at the moment is in the hot summer.  It's the most beautiful time of the year.  The vast green carpet has no edge.  Cattle and sheep spread all over the grassland.  All kinds of transformationsThe appearance is surprising to many people who see it for the first time.  I felt a visual impact I had never experienced before.  But it also caused bursts of mourning among one team.

    These sounds obviously made the Mongolians very unhappy.  Pick up the riding crop.  He slapped those who cried in the team.  One Mongolian captain even drew his sword.  Kill a Westerner who cries the loudest.  The splatter of blood caused the others to stop crying.  He looked at these barbarians with fearful eyes.

    The centurion was very satisfied with what he did.  He danced the steel knife a few times.  After giving others a warning look.  Then he rode away.

    This team is bigger than Tuo Lei Na.  The number of people is also greater.  Almost several times that of the army.  But all are made by craftsmen.  Civilian husband.  woman.  composed of scholars.  They were the trophies of the Mongols.  Also their slaves.  Almost all colors are available.  There are poor people in ragged clothes.  There are also nobles wearing exquisite clothes.  But they all have the same identity at this time: slaves of the Mongols.

    This time the Mongolian expedition to the west.  Once the attack reached Eastern Europe.  The wealth and population gained amazed everyone.  People killed along the way.  It is much more than those who were plundered and brought back as slaves.  Moreover, he took advantage of this western expedition to consolidate his rule over West Asia.  Former Xiliao.  Khwarezm and others have been effectively managed by Mongolia.  Especially after Yelu Chucai rectified the Mongolian official system, it gave Mongolia the prototype of an empire.

    With the efforts of Yelu Chucai, Mongolia has reduced its robbery and massacre of the people it governed.  In addition, we continue to promote and appoint talented officials.  Let the Mongol Khanate's rule become deeper and deeper.  Therefore, the territory of the Mongol Khanate.  It is already more than double the size of Genghis Khan's time.  Moreover, the trend of territory expansion is still increasing.

    ??This kind of growth has been moving towards the west, but it has nothing to do with the Central Plains.  Instead, give up the Northeast.

    Fortunately, these methods are not traditional Mongolian ones.  The backlash after being occupied by the Song people was far less than Yelu Chucai imagined.  Many upper-level Mongolians were very happy that Yelu Chucai tried his best to avoid conflict with the Song Dynasty.  Thought this was a smart move.  But at the same time.  There are also some people who think this is the work of cowards.  It's shameful.  He will be ridiculed by Changshengtian.

    ¡°But Wo Kuotai can understand Lu Chucai¡¯s concerns.  Strong support for his actions allowed the fragile peace between Mongolia and Song to continue despite disputes.  It can be resolved well even if both parties have concerns.

    certainly.  These disputes in Mongolia.  For these slaves who are far away from their hometown.  Meaningless.  They were all coerced by force.  Forced by knife and gun to leave his familiar hometown.  Traveling thousands of miles with the army.  Countless deaths occurred along the way.  See this vast prairie now.  Thinking of my hometown that is getting farther and farther away.  They finally realized that they would never be able to return to their hometown again in this life.  This makes them feel extremely heavy

    The tears that fell silently never stopped.  Under the rough and cruel treatment of Mongolia.  Crying loudly has become a luxury.  Facing a hometown that I can no longer see.  I can only mutter silently in my heart.

    In countless joys.  sigh.  curious.  In sorrow.  This bloated and huge team arrived at Halakhorin.  The tents here are obviously more luxurious and beautiful than those of other tribes.  The cattle, sheep and horses here are also more numerous and stronger than those seen along the way.  And the soldiers here are even more proud.  Facing this Western Expedition army that has returned from a hundred battles.  Not only did he not show any timidity.  Instead, he looked at them coldly and fearlessly.  Like a hard rock.  The coldness reveals incomparable strength.

    This is cowardice of Xue Jun.  The Great Khan's bodyguards have been handed down since the time of Genghis Khan.  It is an army composed of brave warriors from all Mongolia.  They are fearless.  Don't be afraid of any strong opponent.  Even if the warrior in front of him exudes a strong smell of blood.  They can't be moved either.  In a high place.  The Mongolian Great Khan's Wokuotai.  He has already brought Yelu Chucai and many other Mongolian princes and nobles out to meet the Western Expedition army.  From the moment I saw Tou Lei.  The long horn of Mongolia's victory was played.  The distant and high-pitched sound of the trumpet filled the sky.  It represents the prairie's welcome home to the expedition soldiers.

    The Western Expedition team burst into cheers.  Tuo Lei took the lead.  Running towards the high slope.  When you come to the bottom of the high slope.  A beautiful turn and dismount.  Taking advantage of the situation, he rushed towards the high slope.

    And Wo Tai, who was already a little fatter, looked at him with a smile.  When I saw Tuo Lei's vigorous figure leaping off his horse.  An unfamiliar haze passed through his eyes.  Appear and disappear.  No one noticed.

    "Great Khan. Thanks to the blessing of the eternal father Khan. Tuo Lei has lived up to the entrustment of the Great Khan. He marched thousands of miles to the west. Countless. I came here to offer tribute to the Great Khan." Tuo Lei behaved very respectfully.  While talking.  While paying homage with great ceremony.

    Wo Kuotai paid homage to Tuo Lei once before stopping him.  Pulling him up: "My dearest brother. You have done so well. You have not insulted my father's spirit in heaven. You have not insulted the care of the eternal god. I am proud of you."

    Wo Kuotai held Tuo Lei.  Walk down the high slope with him.  A look of great pleasure appeared on his face.  god?Full of towed appreciation.  No one can doubt it.  This elder brother achieved results for his younger brother.  I am sincerely happy.

    Yelu Chucai led many Mongolian nobles.  Following behind Wo Kuotai.  Arrive in front of the Western Expedition Army.

    Uluchi.  Kuo Lie Jian.  Batu.  Guiyou.  Brother Yesu Meng.  Broad end.  Go out wide.  Meng Ge.  Kublai Khan and other members of the royal family stood together.  Wokuotai was very happy.  I gave them a few words of encouragement.  Rewards for them were also announced.  Among them, Batu, who had the greatest merit among the kings and grandsons, was allowed to establish a new khanate.  Make others very envious.  Batu, who had remained silent, also heard that Wokuotai allowed himself to continue to expand.  After establishing the new Khanate.  A smile appeared on his lips.  He finally got what he wanted.

    Although when Genghis Khan divided his four sons.  They were allowed to establish their own khanate but this permission was vague.  Especially Jochi.  It was even more suspected by Genghis Khan.  They didn't dare to make big moves at all, and even less dared to think about openly establishing a khanate.  After the death of Genghis Khan.  Both Chagatai and Tuolei supported Ogodei.  During his lifetime, Jochi and Ogedai were also considered friendly.  Therefore, Batu also recognized the power of Ogedai Khan.

    However, Batu was not willing to surrender to the Mongolian headquarters.  He knew that it would be difficult for him to aspire to the throne of Mongolian Khan because of his father's problems, so he could only think of establishing an independent country.  But if this matter is not explicitly supported by the Mongolian headquarters, it will not be possible.  Plus the question of technique.  It is estimated that everyone will think that Batu's founding of the country was an attempt to rebel.  This is the purpose of this western expedition.  At this moment, Wo Kuotai allowed the deepest desire in his heart.  His favorable impression of Wokuotai increased extremely.  For a moment, I felt that this third uncle was easier to get close to than my fourth uncle.

    "Father, this is unfair. Everyone deserves credit. But Brother Yesumeng and I also made contributions. Why is it that he is the only one who can establish a country and we only increase the population? Father, I demand it."

    "Pa." Wo Kuotai slapped Guyu on the face who jumped out and shouted.  He interrupted his shouting and his face instantly turned livid.  Zhu Guiyu shouted loudly: "Drag him down. Take off his armor. Give him twenty lashes. He is a loser and he is bald. Go and jail him yourself."

    Several Great Khan Suwei stood up.  Grab Guyu.  Regardless of his struggles and shouts.  Take off his armor.  Then drag him far away and start beating him.

    Find out the cause of the trouble.  Wokuotai said good things to Anbadu.  Let him not take Guyu's words to heart.  And recalled the past scenes with his eldest brother Jochi.  Let Batu feel better about this third uncle.  to some extent.  He saw the shadow of his father in Ogedai.  Although I still respect my fourth uncle in my heart.  But a feeling.  It made him feel closer to his third uncle emotionally without even realizing it.

    Batu was appeased.  Wo Kuo chatted cordially with the others for a while.  Finally he picked up a bowl of wine.  A bowl of toast was given to the entire Western Expedition soldiers.  Proud of their contribution to Mongolia.

    "The Khan is invincible, the Khan is invincible." I don't know who suddenly shouted this.  All the western expeditions will be coordinated unconsciously.  For a while, the entire grassland could only hear the sound of praising the Khan.

    Wo Kuotai¡¯s face was full of smiles.  Pulling the tow mine.  Let him accept the cheers of the soldiers together.  Not far away, Yelu Chucai touched his long beard.  He smiled with satisfaction.

    The welcome ceremony lasted for about an hour.  Only after being reminded by Yelu Chucai.  Wokuotai personally ordered the disbandment of the Western Expeditionary Army.  Let all ministries

    Go to your tent and reunite with your family.  certainly.  It is inevitable that he will be accompanied by rich loot.

    This order made all the soldiers happier.  amid cheers.  The troops gradually dispersed.  Heading towards the grassland in all directions.  Bring the news of victory to every steppe tribe.  Let a happy smile appear on the face of every Mongolian herdsman.

    After disbanding the Western Expeditionary Army.  Kuotai took Tuo Lei to Hara and Lin Nei's palace.

    Hara Khor Forest is surrounded by a rectangular city wall made of clay and sand.  Two kilometers from north to south.  One kilometer east to west.  The circumference is more than seven kilometers.  It has four gates: southeast, northwest and northwest.

    The Khan¡¯s palace, Wanan, is located in the northwest of the city.  The palace where the Khan lived was held up by sixty-four stone pillars.  Golden bright tiles are the main color.  The gorgeous roof is decorated with red and green colored tiles.  The surface is also paved with green bricks.  It seems.  It's like green grass spreading into the main hall.  There are countless beautiful murals painted on the walls.  They are all masterpieces of painstaking efforts by Western painters.  Full of colorful beauty.  Look like a dream palace.

    This palace combines the style of the Central Plains and Western Regions.  It is the result of the collaborative efforts of craftsmen from the Central Plains and the Western Regions.  Novel and exquisite, there is no lack of solemn elegance.  Simple lines but with a grand atmosphere.  It is truly an architectural masterpiece.

    Wo Kuotai pulled Lei.  Enter this masterpiece that is the hard work of a nation.  And let Tuo Lei sit closest to him.

    It¡¯s different from Genghis who likes to live in tents.  Ogedai was very interested in such a palace.  Because in this main hall where officials are meeting.  There is a chair with a golden dragon carved on it.  this chair.  It was the one who broke through Zhongdu in the past.  The emperor's throne snatched back from the Jinren Palace.

    And the entire hall.  There is only one dragon chair.  At this moment, Wokuotai was sitting on the dragon chair.  It seemed that the Tuo Lei closest to him was several heads shorter than himself.  The satisfaction in his heart really made him feel extremely comfortable.  This is the respect he should enjoy.  This is how he should be treated. He sits at the table in the yurt.  There is no distinction between high and low situations.  It's really not the same.

    This is the meeting hall.  There were no other princes and nobles at the banquet, including the generals of the Western Expedition.  At this moment, they were all sitting cross-legged on the felt in the hall.  It can be said that some Mongolian deliberation traditions are barely preserved, but these people need to look up to Ogedai sitting on the dragon throne.  Compared with the easy-going manner when everyone sat on equal footing during the Genghis Khan period, it was a bit different.

    Kuo Liejian and other generals of the Western Expedition felt the most about this.  when they leave.  In Wokuotai, everyone still discussed together as they did during Genghis Khan's time.  but now.  Wokuotai has already sat on the high dragon chair.  This is kind of a bit.  It's more of a distance.  This made them feel a lot.

    On the contrary, Batu didn¡¯t feel much about it.  Do you even think about getting a chair like this after establishing your own khanate?

    After everyone sat on the back table, they faced each other and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the bloody battle of the fourth brother, it is estimated that our prairie would not be able to recover and prosper like this. The fourth brother is really the glory of our golden family. Than his father Khan  Not inferior in life. Warriors of the Western Expedition. Do you think so?"

    "Yes. This Western Expedition was due to Fourth Uncle's wise command. Otherwise, Batu would have made my Mongolian warriors do more unnecessary sacrifices out of anger. Except for grandpa, Fourth Uncle is the well-deserved number one in Mongolia." Batu opened his mouth.  .  The respect and admiration for Tou Lei is barely concealed.  But then he realized something.  added something.  "It's just that without the help of Third Uncle, we wouldn't be able to achieve such results. Let me tell you, Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle are our great heroes in Mongolia."

    These words made both Wokuotai and Tuo Lei humble.  They complimented each other a few times.  The atmosphere became harmonious.  Some generals and princes who were pro-Tu Lei also spoke:

    "The Fourth Prince Tolei first supported His Majesty to inherit the throne of Khan. Later, he led his army to the west for our Mongolia. He obtained countless gold and silver treasures for our Mongolia. There were also millions of slaves. One of his contributions to our Mongolia.  Big. It¡¯s hard to describe.¡±

    "That's right. Lord Tuo Lei, our greatest hero in Mongolia. He can rival the prowess of the Great Khan."

    "When the Great Khan was still alive, he said that the most outstanding descendants should inherit the throne of the Mongolian Khan. I think if His Majesty Tuo Lei inherits the throne of the Great Khan, it will make us more prosperous."

    "The great Genghis Khan indeed said this. He encouraged his descendants not to stick to their existing achievements. Instead, they should set their sights on the vast sky. Use their own power to seize their own broader population and land.  .The fourth prince Tuolei has fulfilled the great expectations of the emperor. He is indeed a suitable successor to the throne of Khan." Some princes and dignitaries who followed Tuolei in the Western Expedition started clamoring.  He also brought up some past events when Genghis Khan established his throne.  It proves that Wokuotai indeed promised.  As long as the talent is outstanding.  You can inherit the throne.

    They were just the noble ministers who followed Wokuotai to meet the soldiers who marched to the west.  has remained silent on the issue.  When Wo Kuotai arrived, he enthusiastically cheered for the other party's words: "That's right. Father Khan wanted to pass the throne to me in the past. This made me feel extremely frightened. In terms of iron will and indomitable determination, I am not as good as me.  Great Shuchi. In terms of bravery, he does not care about life and death. I am not as good as my second brother Chagatai. He can even lead an army in battle and defeat countless powerful enemies. I am not as good as my fourth brother Tuo Lei. My fourth brother is younger than me. Look around at my descendants.  . There is no one as outstanding as the fourth brother. This time the fourth brother has made such a great contribution. The territory and population given to the fourth brother by the father Khan during his lifetime have spread all over Mongolia. I really can't give more rewards to thank the fourth brother for his contribution.  The glory we have brought. Why not take advantage of this time when everyone is here to make the fourth brother my heir to the throne. What do you think?"

    "Okay. There has never been a wise monarch like the Great Khan since ancient times. I believe Prince Tuo Lei can bring more glory to our grassland."

    This was called out by a guy with no scheming intentions.  He is a dear general who followed Tuo Lei on the expedition.  Therefore, the torpedo can succeed.  Warmly agree.  Some other dear generals also started making noises.  consistent with this opinion.

    "I object." A timely voice sounded.  Get all side-eyes.  Now the person who said this is Shi Ji Hu Tu Hu.  He was the adopted son of Genghis Khan's mother.  His position is extremely noble.  So even some people were angry about his interruption.  But he didn't dare to yell openly.  Just looked at him with angry eyes.
