Chapter 96: Insidious Dharma King as a last resort
However, King Jinlun did not know that Kublai Khan had already thought about it in this moment, in order to win over Yin Zhiping, he was willing to let Yin Zhiping take over his position as the current national teacher.
However, he had formed a deep hatred with Yin Zhiping, and wanted to kill Yin Zhiping quickly. He did not want Yin Zhiping to be recruited by Kublai Khan. If he really recruited him and was in the same camp, he would not be able to kill Yin Zhiping again. Moreover, he also knew the current status and importance of the Quanzhen Sect in the northern part of the Han people. If Yin Zhiping was willing to join, he would be attracted and valued by Kublai Khan. In terms of his status, it was also a great threat.
So although he didn't know what Kublai Khan thought and thought at this time, he would never allow Yin Zhiping to serve him based on his own interests. He said to Kublai Khan: "Your Highness, I have dealt with Yin Zhiping. This person has a strong personality and regards me, Mongolia as an enemy, and he will not be impressed."
He cared about his face, but never told Kublai Khan about the fact that he had attended the Heroes of Dashengguan last year and was greatly frustrated by Yin Zhiping at the meeting. So he only said that he had dealt with him, but did not explain in detail.
Kublai Khan praised after hearing this, "This kind of hero is naturally a person with great integrity. Otherwise, how can the word "hero," he said again, "But I think as long as I wait and learn from Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to visit the cottage three times, I will be able to summarize it. National Master, you have dealt with him, but you can know how to meet him, and you also ask the national master to introduce him to me."
King Jinlun frowned and said, "Your Highness is a difficult time. I only have a relationship with Yin Zhiping. I will never meet again. I really don't know where to look for him. Moreover, if he is really the leader who leads people to perform assassination, he will deliberately hide and hide, and will not let us find his whereabouts."
Kublai Khan nodded and said, "What the national teacher said is very much." He sighed and said, "Well, I will meet again when I have the chance to meet this person."
In fact, there was no rush to win over the Quanzhen Sect. Mongolia had just occupied the northern part of the Han people from the Jin Dynasty, and it was not very urgent for Mei Jie to seriously resolve the governance matter. Moreover, the Southern Song Dynasty has not yet been destroyed, and the current affairs should be based on the attack and destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty. During his leadership of the army and as the commander of the attack on Xiangyang, he did not have much energy to interfere in the government affairs of local governance. The most important thing is that the current situation is not the ruler of his father, Tolei, but the Ogedei.
Especially now, Nama Zhen, who is in charge of the government, believes in Tantric Buddhism. If he proposes to confer Yin Zhiping as the national teacher, it will definitely not be possible to pass it here in Nama Zhen. Even if he spends a lot of effort to convince the proposal to pass, the benefits and achievements he will eventually end up in the Ogedei line. He is now conspiring with his brother Mengge to regain the inheritance of the Khan throne from the Ogedei line. This is a matter of winning over Quanzhen, but it may be better to wait until the matter is successful and his brother Mengge becomes the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia, and he will add icing on the cake and offer this strategy.
Therefore, this matter can be left for the future. The most urgent task at the moment is to solve the problem of the Song masters sneaking into the camp to make plans for his generals.
After a moment of pause, Kublai Khan turned his head and asked King Jinlun, "I don't know if the current situation is enough to teach me. I can't let the Song masters continue to stab you like this."
King Jinlun said: "In my opinion, the leader of this assassination is undoubtedly Yin Zhiping. It is really him. We can send troops to surround the Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain, and then send a message out, telling him not to slaughter it anymore, otherwise it will burn the Chongyang Palace and destroy the fundamental land of his Quanzhen Sect."
Kublai Khan shook his head and said, "This is inappropriate." He wants to recruit Yin Zhiping in the future. How can he win over the Quanzhen Sect? Then he offended Yin Zhiping and Quanzhen Sect first.
Doing this is to push Yin Zhiping and Quanzhen Sect to his opposite. After a moment of pause, he said: "And Zhongnan Mountain is far away in Shaanxi, and it cannot be able to resolve the near fire. When I ordered the troops to rush over, I don't know how many generals under my command would be lost."
King Jinlun wanted to take the opportunity to avenge his personal revenge, but first destroyed the fundamental land of Quanzhen Sect to let out a sigh of anger. But Kublai Khan disagreed. He frowned and thought for a moment, and said to Kublai Khan: "Apart from that, I have nothing to do with it - the Dharma. Yin Zhiping led people to assassinate, without a trace, and appeared in the impermanence. Although Brother Xiaoxiang and others had the intention and strength, they could not catch them when they would assassinate."
Kublai Khan nodded deeply and said, "This is indeed the case. Even if the national master and several heroes have better martial arts than them, they cannot catch their traces. No matter how powerful they are, it will be useless. Moreover, even if I am the one who will send additional personnel to patrol at night, I will always be unprepared for assassins who are as tall as them. Moreover, too many personnel will inevitably affect the rest of some soldiers and generals, which will in turn affect the siege during the day."
After he said that, he looked elsewhere with his hands in his arms and pondered about countermeasures. After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind and said, "For the sake of the current plan, I have to do this first."
Immediately called on the left and right to pass orders, asking all the generals of thousands of commanders and above in the army to move the tent to his central commander's tent before dark and night, so as to facilitate the centralized protection of these people.
This approach was originally not in line with the rules of setting up a camp and was not conducive to leading the army. If the soldiers below caused trouble, they would not be dealt with in a timely manner without their direct generals, and it would be prone to private fights, group fights, camp roars, etc. He was forced to do this now. His generals were assassinated one by one, which would cause greater losses and could easily cause panic, morale, and chaos.
The two evils are the least. In this special situation, it is more important to protect first. The disadvantages of this practice are temporarily ignored. Moreover, he only needs the generals of thousands of men and above to concentrate around his commander's tent at night for centralized protection, and he can still return to his own camps to manage his subordinates during the day.
In the deep central army, there are layers of large camps of soldiers and generals on the periphery, as well as thousands of elite soldiers from Kublai Khan, as well as masters such as Jinlun Dharma King and Xiaoxiangzi. Under these several levels of protection, safety has undoubtedly improved a lot. Moreover, if the opponent wants to go deep into the central army's tent to assassinate, it will inevitably be doubled and it will be more likely to be exposed and discovered.
Through the two assassinations that have occurred, it is not difficult to see that the other party just took action on the periphery first and did not dare to go deep into the central army's tent. Kublai Khan also made this decision based on this point.
After making a decision, he went around and passed the orders, Kublai Khan looked at the head of Xiangyang, which was visible in the distance, and sighed. He felt that attacking Xiangyang might be more difficult than he had originally expected, and he would also make greater sacrifices.
