Within Han Ting's tent, Great Concubine Torrigo was sitting at the head of the table, Great Concubine Huo Zhi, Gui Yin, and his concubine Hai Hen were sitting on both sides of the table, happily drinking with Torrigo.

Drinking the wine from the silver bowl in your hand, you said, "Today was truly a great day. I didn't think that the once glorious Torei family would actually be so obedient as to hand over their best soldiers. Now that these soldiers are mine, I can see that no one has as many soldiers as I do."

"But your highness, don't forget, everything you've done was given to you by the first wife. If it weren't for her recommendation that Big Khan hand over the troops and horses handed over to the Torei Clan and you leading them, I'm afraid your highness wouldn't be in such a good position right now." The Imperial Advisor Huo Shi said to the noble cause.

Hai Chen hurriedly and respectfully said to Huo Shi, "Grand Imperial Advisor said that if it wasn't for mufei's help, I'm afraid that we'd be nothing now."

"Lost in the sea, who do you think you are? This King still hasn't said anything, so it's your turn to be so talkative." Gui Fu shouted in anger.

"My lord, how dare you be so rude in front of this concubine. What do you think you would do, the whole ridiculous prince, if it weren't for you, I would have helped you out, and you would have been able to control the most, the most elite troops and horses in Mongolia. Let me tell you, these troops and horses can be controlled by you, and naturally you can also take them back."

Seeing Torrigo angry, Hai Hen took the initiative to ask for help and asked Torrigo not to be angry.

Seeing that she was pleading for mercy on behalf of the nobility, he softened his tone and said: "This is a useless and expensive reason, you always like to cause trouble whenever you drink. How about this, Hai Yunlang, you can bring the noble one back first and wake him up so that he won't disgrace himself."

Hearing Torrigo's words, Hai Chen got up hastily and called for his servant to help him back.

Seeing that Hai Yang and her noble self had disappeared from his sight, Hai Chen sighed and said: "Sigh, this concubine is considered a hero among all the girls. I just didn't expect that I would give birth to such a son. What should I do in the future once Big Khan and this concubine are gone?"

"First Consort, you don't have to worry. You're in your prime right now, and the days are long. Look at this Wu Mei [1], a Chinese woman in her seventies and eighties. She can even change her dynasty and become an empress." Huo Zhi complimented.

Torrigo said happily, "This Concubine doesn't have that kind of ambition."

After saying that, he suddenly raised his head and asked Huo Zhi, "Imperial Advisor, how did you come up with this method to take back the military power of the Torei Clan? It's really brilliant."

Huo Zhi smiled proudly and replied, "In the past, I stayed in the Han Dynasty for many years. Once, I heard a story about pouring water into a pot and putting in a few frogs, then slowly heating the water. The water was just slightly warm, and the frogs in the pot would feel very comfortable and joyful, but as the water continued to heat up, when the time came for the frogs to become unbearable, the frogs would not be able to jump out even if they wanted to. This story is called "Boiled Frog in Warm Water".

"And Torre's children are as anxious as these frogs. If we had made them hand over half of Torre's military power and half of his sons' troops at the beginning, then Brother Meng and the rest of them could have taken the risk and led all of the troops under the control of Torre's family to go against them. This Brother Meng and Kubler Lie are generals who can fight well. I'm afraid we might not be able to subdue them."

With charming eyes like silk, he kissed Huo Zhi and said: "Huo Zhi, I was indeed not wrong about you. Your schemes in Mongolia are truly unbeatable. With you by my side, I am truly like a tiger that has grown wings."

"Haha, this is nothing. Next, I will have even more powerful opponents to deal with the Torres family. At that time, your eldest concubine will rule Mongolia." Huo Zhi said.

When Torrigo heard that Huo Shi had a backup plan to deal with the Fu Tore family, he curiously asked, "How are you going to deal with them? They've already handed over their military authority and no longer have any power. Don't tell me you want to kill them all?"

"Of course not. In Mongolia, the Torres are still supported by many people. If we do that, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of some of the Mongolian nobles." Huo Zhi said.

Torrigo also said worriedly, "Yeah, in this period of time, didn't Chi Lao and the other old guys secretly spread the 'fourth dying word', hoping that after Big Khan returns to heaven, they will support Kublai in inheriting the position of Khan."

"Chi Lao Wen and the others are both the senior ministers of the Khan, so now is not the time to deal with them. After all, it is impossible for us to make too many enemies in one go, and since the last time you called them over, they are not very active right now. After all, their glory and wealth are all in the hands of the Khan." Huo Zhi said.

Torrigo stared at the oil lamp hanging from the tent for a moment before saying to Huo Zhi, "In your opinion, when should we take care of this group of people?"

"There is a priority. At the moment, the Torres family will never be able to make a comeback, just one move away. After this is done, it is time for us to deal with these old officials, not to mention they are under the supervision of our 'Shadow Legion'. As long as there is any movement, we will know." Huo Zhi said.

Torrigo asked, "Then what is your final move?"

Huo Zhi smiled mysteriously and said: "Tomorrow, I will ask the first wife to deliver an order in the name of Big Khan, saying that Big Khan knows that his family has always been loyal and loyal to the Great Mongolia. To that end, Big Khan must use a few of Torre's sons to send Mongolia, Xu Lieyu, and Ali to the border area.

"Truly brilliant. This is called being divided into two. They are separated by a great distance, and don't have many troops that can be mobilized. In the future, they will no longer be a threat to us." Torrigo said with a smile.

After he had finished laughing, he asked Huo Zhi, "What position will you arrange for Kublai to stay in the forest with me?"

"The army can't be controlled by him. Let him be Mongolia's head judge and the Mongolian officials in charge of giving rewards and punishments. Let him be the one to handle the matters concerning the offending people." Huo Shi thought for a while and said.

Just as the two were discussing amongst themselves, someone suddenly barged in from outside. He said loudly, "Eldest concubine, this isn't good. Your highness has started fighting with your highness."
