Seeing that Mongolia was failing, Wang Shixian wanted to find a way out for himself. Yang You smiled and said: "Commander Wang, as long as you lead your troops to submit to Da Qi, my king has said that I will protect you as a Marquis of the World and make your Wang family the Grand Prince of Da Qi."

Town border." This time Zhao Tai occupied Hedong and surrendered a large number of Hedong princes. However, due to lack of preparation, Zhao Tai did not completely integrate these princes, but allowed them to retain their troops.

At that time, the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties fought against each other for many years before the winner was determined. Now, although Mongolia has lost Hedong, its strength is far stronger than that of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Zhao Tai originally thought that Mongolia could still hold on for a while, but the reality was that Mongolia's collapse was beyond Zhao Tai's expectations.

After losing Hedong, Mongolia no longer has the confidence to hold on to Guanzhong, and may destroy Guanzhong at any time and completely retreat to the grassland.

Therefore, Zhao Tai did not have enough time to prepare, so he needed to take over the entire north. If there was enough time, Zhao Tai would naturally not allow the princes to exist like independent princes, but Zhao Tai was worried that after Batu fled back to Guanzhong, he would massacre the people in Guanzhong.

The Qi army may want to advance non-stop into Guanzhong, so they can only reach a compromise with the prince of Hedong as soon as possible and promise extremely generous conditions to the prince of Guanzhong.

Zhao Tai was worried that Batu would massacre Guanzhong at any time, plunder the people in Guanzhong and then return north to the grasslands, so he could only win over the princes living in Guanzhong and use them to prevent the Mongolian army from destroying Guanzhong.

Wang Shixian was overjoyed after hearing Yang You's words and quickly stood up and saluted.

"Da Qi has such trust that I, Wang Shixian, am willing to die for Da Qi!" Yang You said with a smile: "Commander Wang, Mongolia can no longer stay in Guanzhong for long. Da Qi is very worried that Mongolia will massacre Guanzhong and then withdraw to the grassland like it did in Hedong. Therefore,

Your Majesty hopes that your Wang family will stop Mongolia from destroying Guanzhong. If you can protect Guanzhong, Your Majesty will definitely reward you greatly." After hearing this, Wang Shixian immediately felt that his choice was right, and he immediately promised,

"General Yang, don't worry, Wang will definitely protect the people of Guanzhong for Da Qi."... Guanzhong, Xi'an. After the defeat of Hedong, although the Mongolian headquarters did not suffer much losses, Mongolia was falling apart.

Guyuk did not use the Battle of Hedong to reshape the authority of the Mongolian Khan. After losing Hedong, Mengge returned to the grassland and began to focus on the use of the grassland, which intensified the conflict between Guyu and Mengge.

As the Mongol Empire developed outwards and continued to obtain new benefits from the outside, the internal conflicts within the Mongol Empire could be resolved and reconciled.

When the Mongol Empire was unable to obtain benefits from the outside, the empire stopped developing, and the cake could not grow bigger, internal conflicts would become acute.

After the Mongolian army withdrew from Hedong, Guyu and Mengge began to compete for the interests of the grasslands. Neither side could provide substantial help to Guanzhong.

After Batu led his army back to Guanzhong, he asked Guyou what should be done in Guanzhong. Guyu wrote back to him, asking him to stick to Guanzhong to wait for the changes.

Batu scorned Guyuk's orders. Guyuk gave orders but did not give him enough support to tell him how to fight against Qi.

After returning to Guanzhong, Batu found that the Mongolian people's hearts had dispersed, and his mind was no longer in Guanzhong, but returned to the great plains of Eastern Europe.

Since the Western Expeditionary Army was recalled, it has not gained any benefits in the Central Plains. It is really not as cost-effective as fighting in Eastern Europe.

After Batu returned to Guanzhong, he made up his mind to lead his subordinates back to Eastern Europe and did not want to fight Qi in the Central Plains.

However, it was not an easy task for Batu to return to Eastern Europe from Guanzhong, a journey of tens of thousands of miles, and without the support of other Mongolian tribes. At this time, Batu summoned several confidants in the palace to discuss how to return to Eastern Europe.

Batu said in a deep voice:

"My king was originally invincible in the west and was about to establish a huge khanate. However, he was called back by Ogedai Khan to fight with the Qi people in the middle. In the past few years since we returned to the east, we have fought continuously, but we have not obtained land or slaves. This king

You thought we were wasting your time. Now I have decided to take you

What do you think of avoiding the Qi people and relaunching the Western Expedition?" Many Mongolian nobles were talking about it. After the defeat in Hedong, people in Mongolia were panicked, and there was no great khan in Mongolia who could lead the entire Mongolia. As a result, the Mongolian nobles had no

Confidence continues to fight against Qi.

After they withdrew from Hedong to Guanzhong, they exploited Guanzhong wantonly because they believed that Guanzhong would be taken away by Qi sooner or later, so they might as well take the opportunity to squeeze out more property.

"I agree with the prince's proposal. We can't save Guanzhong anyway, so we should find another way out earlier! Now that Guiyou and Meng Ge are fighting on the grassland, our position has been lost. We should continue the westward expedition and conquer a piece of pasture." Xiban said.

.

Many Mongolian leaders nodded in agreement. Batu was quite satisfied with this and said in a deep voice:

"Since everyone agrees, we must raise the money and food as soon as possible, and then launch the Western Expedition!" The previous Western Expedition was supported by the Mongolian Empire. This time, Batu gave up Guanzhong and went west, so he needed to raise money and food by himself.

Xiban said:

"We can't hold this pass anyway, and we have no intention of taking it. I think we will plunder it and then evacuate directly." Batu squinted his eyes and shook his head.

"Now the Qi army is watching with eager eyes. If we directly show that we will abandon Guanzhong, the Qi army will definitely contact the Han people in Guanzhong and take the opportunity to enter the pass. At that time, we can only evacuate in a hurry."

"What does the prince mean?" Xiban asked. Batu said in a deep voice:

"First, in the name of guarding Guanzhong, let the princes and people in Guan Nei turn over this year's money and food. After we have obtained enough money and food, we will destroy Guanzhong. By then, even if the Han people in Guan let the Qi army enter the pass, we will have already obtained enough

With enough food, we can safely evacuate Guanzhong." Hearing this, many Mongolian nobles nodded and approved Batu's plan.

A few days later, the Mongolian cavalry went out and issued military orders to the states and counties to collect money and food, and ordered the states and counties to pay all the money and food for this year within one month.

If there are prefectures and counties that cannot surrender, Batu will immediately send cavalry to attack, and the Mongolian cavalry will directly enter the city to collect the goods.

For a time, everything in Guanzhong was in turmoil. Many prefectures and counties were plundered by the Mongolian cavalry because they could not complete the surrender.

Gongchang Mansion, Wang Shixian's residence. At this time, many members of the Wang family gathered, and everyone looked at Wang Shixian with serious expressions.

"Commander, the Mongols are draining the land and asking us to hand over this year's money and food in advance. We just said that we need time to collect it, so they sent troops to directly rob. There is no way to survive this day." A prince said angrily.

Wang Shixian looked gloomy and asked:
Chapter completed!
