When Gao Guozhu and his party went to Chongsheng temple to hold a martial arts exchange meeting, Dali's father-in-law Dao Damu put on casual clothes and quietly went out of Dali's capital, Yangju baa city.

He didn't take any of his entourage with him on this trip. He was alone.

Since the fourth King Kublai Khan's army marched into Dali's capital city, Yangju baa City, the four gates were only open for a while every day and closed at other times.

When he arrived, it was still a short time before the regular opening time. However, daodamu could not reveal his identity, so he had to wait for a while. After the city gate was opened, he went out with all the people out of the city.

Maybe it's because I'm worried that someone will follow me. When I leave Yangju baa City, I walk around and look back from time to time.

Judging from his actions, you may be worried that someone will follow you.

After walking for a while, he went back to the main road.

This time he didn't look back, quickened his pace and kept walking forward.

He came to the camp of Kublai Khan.

Seeing someone coming, the sergeant guarding outside the gate immediately ordered him to stop, otherwise, they would shoot arrows.

The abbot Dao Damu stopped in a hurry and politely told the sergeant that he was from the city of Dali king. He came to see the fourth Prince Kublai. He had something important to do.

Listening to him, the sergeant who was guarding Yuanmen asked him to wait in place. He went in and told the fourth Prince Kublai Khan.

It wasn't long before the sergeant came out.

He took the abbot of Dali, Dao Damu, to the tent of Kublai Khan.

When the sergeant came in to report, Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, was gathering his men and men to discuss the military situation. He heard that people from Dali City were coming to visit him.

He didn't know who it was.

Originally, he wanted to ask Boyan to receive him first, but he was worried that there was something very important about the visitor, so he asked the sergeant to take the person to the big account and receive him personally.

After seeing the ceremony, the fourth Prince Kublai asked him who he was.

The abbot of Dali, Dao Damu did not immediately answer Kublai Khan's question, but looked around.

What he meant, of course, was that there were so many people present that it was not convenient to speak.

Kublai's words were in his heart.

Listen to him say so, the abbot of Dali, Dao Damu is clear about his identity.

Before that, Kublai Khan, the fourth Prince of Dali, had never been in touch with Dao Damu.

Now the man came suddenly, and he was surprised.

Suddenly, he asked the four soldiers to sit down in the camp.

"I'm here today. There's one thing I want to ask you for advice." The abbot of Dali, a big wooden road.

"What can I ask you?" Kublai asked

"Fourth prince, when you lead the army to Dali, do you want Dali to surrender or destroy us?" The abbot of Dali asked daodamu.

Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, replied, "you Dali is located in the southwest of China. Our Mongolian Khanate has a vast territory. Originally, we had no interest in you Dali, but you have always regarded the Song Dynasty as your suzerain state. Only mengge Khan of Helin Khanate sent us to attack you."

"As for whether to destroy you or to surrender, it depends on the performance of your Dali monarchs and ministers." He added.

Dao Damu asked, "can I have a more realistic word?"

"But it doesn't matter." The fourth King replied.

Dao Damu said: "we Dali is a small country, who is strong depends on who. In the past, there was a distance between the Mongolian Khanate and our Dali, but now we come into contact with you. You Dali is the most powerful empire in the world. As long as you Mongolian Khanate are willing, we Dali are willing to submit to you Mongolian Khanate."

"Do you mean that Duan Zhiwang wants to confirm to the Lord of justice?" He asked.

Guozhang, Dao Damu replied without hesitation: "it's not only the meaning of me, but also the meaning of our Dali to appoint a virtuous king to Yitian."

"It's just..."

At this point, he wants to talk and stop.

Kublai said, "despite the suffering."

"You may have heard of the national conditions of Dali. Xiang Yitian decided that although the virtuous king was the leader of Dali, sometimes he could not be the leader." The abbot of Dali, a big wooden road.

Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, listened to him and asked, "do you mean Lord Gao?"

"That's the man." Dali abbot, Dao Damu replied.

He added: "since you led your army to Dali, you have been fighting with Ma, the master of the high kingdom. In fact, our king Dali does not advocate fighting against your Mongolian Khanate.""Brother Gao, you are unfaithful to your king Dali. Do you want to get rid of them with the help of our king?" Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, was not stupid either. After listening to the words of the abbot of Dali, Dao Damu, he asked.

The abbot of Dali, Dao Damu knows that he can't hide his thoughts from the fourth Prince Kublai Khan, but he didn't expect that the fourth Prince Kublai Khan was so direct. In the face of all the people, he exposed himself.

"It's really hard to get rid of Gao Guozhu's brothers only by the king's strength. For this reason, we really want to join hands with the king. I dare not deceive him." If he was singled out, he didn't have to hide, so he said directly.

The fourth Prince Kublai said, "it's very good to make it clear."

"I can help you deal with the Gao brothers, but what good is it for me to help you decide the virtuous king from the righteous heaven?" He asked again.

Listening to the tone of Kublai Khan's voice, the abbot of Dali knew that today's trip should not be in vain.

There's probably a door to this.

He said in a hurry: "fourth prince, please rest assured that as long as you are willing to join hands with our king Xiang Yitian, our king Xiang Yitian is willing to submit to the fourth prince forever from now on."

"We in Mongolia will pay for the food, grass and military pay consumed by the Mongolian army this time. "Another way.

After listening to him, general Wu Liang stood up and said to his father-in-law, Duan Xingzhi, "you Dali have appointed King Xian to Yitian. Duan Xingzhi wants to submit not to our four princes, but to our Mongolian Khan."

He is the confidant of mengge Khan. This time he was sent here to assist the fourth Prince Kublai Khan. In fact, he was sent here to monitor and contain the fourth Prince Kublai Khan.

That's why he said that.

"What Wuliang Hetai said is not true. What Dali should submit to is our Mongolian Khan, mengge Khan, not our king." The fourth King Kublai said.

He also said: "the king and the Khan of the Khan court are brothers, but they are also monarchs and ministers. Even the king has to submit to the Khan."

"I said something wrong. Please forgive me." Dali's minister, Dao Damu, is in a hurry.

The fourth Prince Kublai said, "you just know."

"If you say that again next time, I will not spare you." He added.

Dali's minister, Dao Damu, said, "there will never be another time."

Then he told Kublai Khan his plan in detail.

After that, he asked Kublai Khan whether he agreed with his plan.

This is indeed a good thing for Kublai Khan.

There's no reason why he won't agree.

Not only that, he also promised that if the Dali abbot, Dao Damu, helped them to pacify Dali smoothly, he would not treat him badly at that time.

It's nothing to be afraid of.

Such a commitment is indeed perfect for the Minister of Dali.

We can not only clean up the Gao brothers in Dali, but also get benefits.

He immediately knelt on the ground and expressed his thanks to Kublai Khan.

Worried about going back late, the gate of the king's city was closed and couldn't get in.

After confirming the time of the action plan, Gao Damu, the Minister of Dali, left Kublai Khan's barracks.

Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, likes to listen to his subordinates' opinions when he does things.

After the visitors left, he asked Wen Wu, who was present, what he thought of it.

It's been a while since I came to the royal city of Dali. The soldiers in the camp have long wanted to fight happily.

For Mongolian soldiers, if there is no war to fight, they can not make military contributions and get higher official positions and more rewards.

Now that there is such an opportunity, most generals want to fight.

Among the counselors brought this time, Yao Shu was the leader.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, the fourth Prince Kublai asked him what he thought of the matter.

Yao Shu thinks it's not very reliable.

He felt that the Gao brothers had an absolute advantage in their strength.

Although the abbot was presided over by his family, he was still far behind the strength of the Gao brothers.

Besides, the Gao brothers are very cunning.

Dali's head of state, Dao Damu, as the leader of Dali and one of the most trusted royal ministers of Duan Xingzhi, must be the key monitoring object of the Gao brothers on weekdays.

It was too difficult for him to keep his actions secret.

It seems that he, like the abbot of Chongsheng Temple in Dali and master liaochen, thinks that the possibility of Gao Guozhang fighting the Gao brothers is very small.

Once they find out something, Gao Guozhu's brother Gao Qiang controls the military power of the King City, they can take action immediately.

At that time, those who go up to Dali, like the king of justice, or the abbot of this country, with a sword and big wood, will have to sit and wait to die.After listening to Yao Shu's analysis, the fourth Prince Kublai thought it was very reasonable.

Judging from the current situation, cooperation with this Dao Damu is not very effective.

It seems that according to the original plan, it is better to first pacify the other places outside the royal city one by one, and then attack the royal city of Dali.

Wu Liang is eager to make contributions.

He said to Kublai Khan, "fourth prince, since we have agreed to the request of this man, let's have a try."

"Just be prepared." Another way.

Although his strength is poor, he is also a figure in Dali. Of course, Kublai Khan will not give up.

At this time, he had a decision in his heart.

Just don't want to say it.

Kublai Khan, the fourth Prince of Dali, felt that even if Dao Damu, the head of Dali, failed, it would also cause turbulence in the city of Dali and cause certain losses to the strength of the Gao brothers.

Now in Dali, the Gao brothers are the main opponents of their Mongolian army. If their strength is weakened, it will be beneficial to the Mongolian army.

Of course, he also held the hope that perhaps the Minister of Dali could clean up the Gao brothers.

At that time, he will be able to lead the Mongolian army into the city of King Dali and clean up the mess.

Seeing that Wu Liang, the great general, was quite excited, the fourth Prince Kublai Khan asked him to lead a large army out of the camp, close to the royal city of Dali, and observe the movement of the royal city of Dali at any time.

That's what he wants to do.

After listening to the order of Kublai Khan, Wu Liang was so happy that he looked out and said, "maybe I will make a great contribution."

I'll take it.

"Fourth prince, you should not leave such a task to Wu Liang Hetai." When all the generals left Kublai Khan, Yao Shu said to him.

"Why not?" Kublai Khan asked

"He was sent by Khan. What's the purpose? Khan, you know very well that if this plan can be implemented smoothly, the credit should also be obtained by the fourth Prince under your command." Yao Shu replied.

Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, said: "just now you can see that Wuliang Hetai wants to do this thing very much. If the king arranges his trusted men to carry out this order, he must think that the king is leaning towards his subordinates. When he gets angry, he tells mengge Khan about the king's blackness. At that time, it will certainly have a bad influence on our army attacking Dali It's better to let him carry out this matter. "

" anyway, it's not likely to succeed. " He added.

Yao Shu said: "it is precisely because the possibility of success is not great, and Wu Liang is eager to make contributions that he can not do it."

"You think too much, Mr. Yao. Wu lianghetai is not an incompetent person. He has been following mengge Khan for many years and is also a veteran of the battlefield. He won't be fooled easily." The fourth King Kublai said.

Yao Shudao said: "fourth prince, I know what you said, but I'm still worried."

"Do you think that's all right?" He asked again.

Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, replied, "Sir, please speak.

"Khan, you will send general Boyan to lead an army to meet you." Yao Shudao.

"Is this necessary, Mr. Yao?" he asked

"Absolutely necessary." Yao Shu replied.

He added: "although the camp is not far away from the place where Wuliang Hetai is going, with his personality, it is very difficult for you to get information from Wuliang Hetai in time."
