Chapter 437 Layout (6) Suspicion (Part 1) Guo Jing was defeated and died in the battle, and the news of the fall of Xiangyang came back to Lin'an City. Within two days, Kublai Khan had already received a message from Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty. The sum of the letters of peace and the large amount of gold and silver gifts sent to them are enough to show how sincere the Song Dynasty was in seeking peace. However, Kublai Khan only took one look and said to the envoy of the Song Dynasty: "Send the gold and silver back intact, and I will give you the same amount of gifts. But there is only one request, and that is to prepare your troops and wait for me. ." After saying that, he ordered his men to entertain the envoy well, as if he was afraid that something would happen to him and he would not be able to send the news back. At this time, the Mongolian army had successively captured large areas of Jingxiang South Road and Jinghu North Road, plus Xiangzhou on Jingxi South Road where Xiangyang was located, which had been captured by Xiao Yao. This meant that half of the Song Dynasty's territory had been completely lost, and Lin'an had been conquered. It's only a matter of time. Kublai Khan spent half of his life in the army just to be able to accomplish this matter in his lifetime and then create a great empire. Now that he saw that the great achievement was about to be completed, how could he be willing to accept a piece of surrender and let go of this guard? A lifelong dream? Therefore, he entertained the envoy so well just because he wanted him to return safely so that Zhao Gou could clearly understand his intentions and lead his troops to fight him with real swords and guns. In this way, the victory would be It¡¯s just enjoyable. This envoy is a close confidant of Zhao Gou, and he is also a staunch peace advocate. Seeing that Kublai Khan's attitude was so determined, he tried his best to persuade him at first, but when he saw that it had no effect, he took it upon himself to double the number of gifts for peace. He thought that in this way, he would only achieve the goal of peace and keep the peace. After understanding the foundation of the Song Dynasty, even if the emperor was angry, he would not be too harsh on himself. Unexpectedly, Kublai Khan remained unmoved. He was just about to think of another way, but Kublai Khan lost his patience and opened his mouth to order: "Come on, kidnap this distinguished guest, send him to the best military tent, and give him three pounds of the best horse." Milk wine, three pounds of the most fragrant roast mutton, and three pounds of the purest cheese, you must treat them well. If you hurt a hair of your distinguished guest, I will take your dog's head to ask." After saying this, he turned around. He said to the envoy: "You can live well and eat well. Wait until tomorrow and I will bring you the fastest horse on the grassland. You can go back and tell your emperor exactly what I just said." The envoy was already at a loss when he heard Kublai Khan's series of instructions. At this time, he just nodded his head. Before he understood what was happening in front of him, he was tied up tightly by Kublai Khan's guards. , raised his shoulders, and walked out of the tent with his head in front and his feet on the ground. It was not until a while later that a heartbreaking cry of "I don't want to eat" and "I don't want to drink" came faintly from outside the tent. Hearing the cry, Kublai Khan happily picked up a glass of kumiss and drank it. Before he could swallow it, he heard a noise outside the account. When he heard it, it was Xiao Yao who came. Seeing Xiao Yao, Kublai Khan put down his wine glass, walked over excitedly, hugged him, and patted him hard a few times before shouting excitedly: "Good brother, you are back!" Xiao Yao just said When he rushed to Daxie to rescue Duan Zining last time, he briefly met Kublai Khan. The rest of the time he spent the rest of his time running between Emei, Sichuan, Monkey Claw Mountain and Daxing City in southern Hunan, secretly controlling the creation of the six major sects and the replacement of the Quanzhen Sect. Matters related to status, and it was during this period that Kublai Khan had been troubled, and Xiangyang City, which was like a nail that prevented him from entering even an inch, was successfully defeated because of Xiao Yao's plan, and directly promoted Kublai Khan. Bilie's plan to destroy the Song Dynasty gave him great hope of success. Now that Xiangyang was broken, Xiao Yao handed over all matters to Ah Shu, and he immediately traveled through the night to see Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan's long-cherished wish finally came true, so he was naturally very grateful to Xiao Yao. Now that they meet each other, it's no wonder they are so affectionate. Xiao Yao came here this time with a request, so he showed great enthusiasm and said: "Brother, I have fulfilled my mission and finally relieved you of a serious problem." "Brother, returning safely is more important than anything else. It's important. Come on, let's have three drinks first!" After saying that, Kublai Khan personally picked up the wine pot, poured a full cup for Xiao Yao, and then poured a cup for himself, and the two of them drank. When they finished and put down their cups, they couldn't help but look at each other and laugh. After some pleasantries, Kublai Khan took the lead and asked: "Now that Xiangyang has been defeated, it is just around the corner for us to take over Lin'an. I just wonder, what are your next plans, brothers?" Xiao Yao's heart moved, and he frowned without leaving a trace. He lightly clustered and thought to himself: "There has been a saying since ancient times: when the birds are gone, a good bow is hidden; when a cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked. Now Kublai Khan's great cause is about to be accomplished, but now he suddenly asked me this, I just don't know what the purpose is?" Thinking of this , his mind changed rapidly, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while: "I have been with him over the years, and we have experienced a lot of storms together, and we trust each other very much. And now, the Song Dynasty stillAfter the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan was still far away from changing dynasties and establishing the Yuan Dynasty. If he was worried about the loss of power or his great achievements, he should not have considered these things yet. I am asking this question now because I am afraid I just want to ask if I will treat him like this again in the future, right? " Thinking of this, Xiao Yao already had some concerns in his mind, so he said: "Eldest brother also knows that I am free by nature. I am used to the life of Xianyun Yehe. If I go into the house and restrain my hands and feet in the future, I am afraid there will be a lot of discomfort. Therefore, I have recently been I have been planning something as a plan to continue to support big brother in the future, and I hope that big brother will support me more. " When Kublai Khan heard this, he narrowed his eyes and asked with interest: "What is it that makes brother so worried? Speak up quickly, brother will definitely help if he can. " Xiao Yao pondered for a moment, and then told everything about his establishment of the six major sects. In fact, this was exactly what he came for on this trip, because although Quanzhen is now destroyed, among the six major sects, they have been established. However, due to their relatively young qualifications, the five major sects that have emerged cannot immediately replace the Quanzhen Sect, nor can they suppress the entire martial arts world. Therefore, instead, it is the stragglers and surviving gangs in the world who are moved by the undercurrent. The situation is surging, and there are constantly forces trying to challenge the entire martial arts world, and want to take the opportunity to rise and seize the dominance of the martial arts world. Xiao Yao is well aware of these situations, but for a while he is helpless because he does not yet have the power in his hands. Nowadays, the Huashan Sect established by Duan Zining and Zhu Ziliu, the Emei Sect established by Wan Yanping, the Kongtong Sect established by Gongsun Lue, and the Kunlun Sect established by Yang Guo have already been canonized as the Mongolian Protector. Among the five forces of the Zen Temple, the Shaolin Temple, except for the Shaolin Temple, which is inconvenient to directly participate in the competition in the world, the other four, namely Wan Yanping's Emei Sect, rely on the shadow of the Quanzhen Sect and use the banner of the Quanzhen Sect to compete in the world. He has recruited scattered Quanzhen disciples, so his strength has grown relatively quickly, and is now comparable to the first-class gangs in the world. The other three factions are still insignificant. Xiao Yao has tried to lure them with large sums of money, or directly confront them. Some small gangs used force and then recruited them en masse to force them to work for them. However, even with such hard and soft tactics, the effect was still not very significant. The reason was that the world was already full of bloodshed, and various forces were dominant, and their methods were the same. They emerge one after another, and in their eyes, these newly created gangs by Xiao Yao are nothing more than emerging forces, so there is nothing to fear at all. However, Xiao Yao cannot speak out about the real background of these five major factions. He can predict that, If he relied on the power of the Mongolian army to assist the five major sects openly, then the entire martial arts world would be unanimously open to the outside world. If it really got to this point, it would be more of a loss than a gain. That's why Xiao Yao made a special trip to find Kublai Khan, just for the sake of hope. He was able to allocate all the power gathered by the Talent Recruitment Hall over the years to his own hands, and let the Huashan Sect, Kongtong Sect and Emei Sect gain a firm foothold and grow as quickly as possible. When Kublai Khan heard this, his face showed no signs of change. What a special expression, just a smile in his eyes, looking out of the tent without saying a word. However, no one, including Xiao Yao, noticed the cold light passing from the corner of his eyes.
