Eight envoys to Mongolia 1

At noon, the sun was shining high, and the dust was flying in the distance, and I saw a group of cavalry with four or five hundred people, coming to meet the Jin army like a lightning speed.

The ranks of the Jin army had long since stopped advancing and were ready to fight. Wanyan Fushou frowned slightly, and said, "Where are the people and horses from there?"

"Father-in-law, they only have four or five hundred people, so there is no need to be frightened, wait for me to go and take a look." As he spoke, Wan Yan took the reins of his horse and urged him to step forward.

At this time, the group of men and horses had stopped fifty paces away from the golden army. A horse jumped out of the formation, and the people on the horse shouted: "I am ordered by the Great Khan of the Mongolian Ministry Temujin to meet the envoys of the Jin State, may I ask if it is the envoys of the Great Jin?"

Wan Yan Changzhi said: "Yes, we are the messenger of Dajin, and I am the deputy envoy Wan Yan Changzhi, who are you?"

When the man heard this, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and said, "The villain is Na Ke'er under the tent of Temujin Great Khan, and he will wait for the captain of the guard army to be Borshu, see Lord Wanyan."

Wanyan Changzhi saw him dismount, and he also turned over and dismounted, came to the front of Borshu, and said, "General Borshu doesn't have to be polite, come with me to see the envoy." If you look closely, this Borshu is about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a tall figure and eyes like an eagle, and at a glance, you can see that he is a fierce general who is good at fighting.

It turned out that when Temujin was a teenager, his family was in decline, and once his eight white horses were stolen by other tribes, and Temujin went to chase them alone, and met a young man milking horses on the way, and that young man was Borshu. Temujin explained to him about the theft of the horse and asked him where the thief had gone. Borshu said: "The suffering of men is the same, I will become friends with you and go together to win the horse." So they pursued them on horseback, and for three days they caught up with the tribe of horse thieves. The two men fired arrows, defeated hundreds of enemies, and captured eight horses. Temujin was to give him half of the horse. Borshu said: "I will do my best for my good friends, and I don't want a horse." Temujin was deeply moved, and the two of them married and started a business together, which was really a friend in times of adversity.

Later, Borshu served as the captain of Temujin's guards, and he was loyal, and Temujin always called Borshu a good friend and trusted him. Therefore, the task of welcoming the envoys of the Jin State this time was entrusted to Bormu.

At this time, Wanyan Fushou also rode to the front of the Jin army, and Wanyan Changzhi immediately introduced him to Borshu: "General Borshu, this is the Dajin Messenger, Pingzhang, King Zheng Wanyan." ”

When Borshu heard this, he immediately turned around and let out a loud shout. The hundreds of cavalry he brought dismounted together, knelt on the ground, and saluted Wanyan Fushou. The movements were neat, no one was behind, and even the war horses stood in place, motionless. Although the armor of this Mongolian army is not complete, and the weapons used are of different lengths, they can be regarded as well-trained.

Borshu came to Wanyan Fushou's horse, knelt down and saluted: "Na Ke'er under the tent of Temujin Great Khan, wait for the captain of the guard army Borshu, see the Dajin envoy Wanyan."

Wanyan Fushou saw that the attitude of the Mongols was very respectful, and his heart was quite satisfied, and it seemed that Dajin's prestige was still left, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "General Borshu, you don't need to be polite, tell your people to get up."

Borshu stood up, turned around and gave another order, and the Mongolian soldiers he brought with him stood up together. Borshu recruited two people from the army and introduced them to Wanyan Fushou. It turned out that one of these two was Temujin's younger brother He'er, and the other was Temujin's half-brother Belgutai. They were also Temujin's right-hand men, and this time they came with Borshu to greet the Golden Envoy.

Wan Yan Changzhi saw that Heqi'er was twenty-three or four-year-old red, quite thin, and very shrewd and strong, while Belgutai was in his early twenties, tall, strong, and brave and good at fighting. I thought that there were several outstanding talents under this Temujin's hands.

Wanyan Fushou said: "General Borshu, how much time is there to rush from here to the camp of the Great Khan of Temujin?"

Borshu said: "Lord Wanyan, the distance is not close, even if you hurry up, it will take two days at the earliest."

Wanyan Fushou said: "Okay, since that's the case, then let's hurry up and get to your camp early."

Borshu gave another salute, and then ordered all the Mongols to mount their horses, led by Belgutai and lead the way. He and He'er accompanied Wanyan Fushou and Wanyan Changzhi in the ranks of the Jin Army. He is really shrewd, and he accompanied him along the way to talk about some customs and customs on the grassland, and his attitude was also very humble. There are not many words in Borshu, but he is always paying attention to the Jin Army's team.

After walking less than twenty miles, I suddenly saw a cloud of dust rising in front of me, and I saw Belgutai coming from the front of Pegasus, coming to Wanyan Fushou Ma and saying: "Lord Wanyan, there are Tatar people in front of us, and they are rushing towards us, less than fifteen miles away from here."

Wanyan Fushou was slightly stunned, and said: "The Tatars are so bold that they dare to come and rob and kill Dajin's envoys, how many people have they come?"

Belgutai said: "About 30,000 horses? It's all cavalry."

Wanyan Fushou was taken aback and said, "Thirty thousand cavalry? Is that much?" They only brought a total of 10,000 Jin troops to Mongolia this time, and the four generals Jia Gu Hui, Shuhu Rahan, Hu Leming, and Extravagant Thorn Heda were all the third generation of disciples brought by Wanyan Changzhi from Huining Temple. Among them were 5,000 infantry, and the cavalry was only 5,000 men. There are 3,000 or ordinary light cavalry, and only 2,000 are Tiefutu, and of course none of them wear heavy armor. Wanyan Fushou's gaze turned to Wanyan Changzhi, and at this time he could only look at this son-in-law.

After all, Wanyan Changzhi is a person who has gone through a big battle, and he will not panic at this time. Standing on the saddle and looking around, he lifted a hill two or three miles away to the left and said, "Let's go to that hill and hide first." Then he said to Borshu: "General Borshu, you go back immediately and tell Temujin Great Khan, and let him immediately send troops to rescue us."

Borshu nodded, and said to Belgutai: "You take a few people back and report to Temujin Khan, and ask him to send troops to rescue him immediately, and I and Heqi'er will stay here to protect the Dajin envoys." Belgutai replied and immediately left with a dozen cavalrymen on horseback.

Wanyan Changzhi immediately commanded the Jin army and retreated in the direction of the hill. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he found that although the hill was not too high, it stretched for more than ten miles, and it was not easy to be surrounded. So he ordered Gu Hui and Shuhu Rahan to take 3,000 light cavalry to ambush in the mountain recess, waiting for orders, and he took Hu Le Ming and Lu Thorn Heda to lead the infantry army and 2,000 Tiefutu and Borshu, and the 500 Mongol troops who withdrew from the mountain to garrison. Wanyan Fushou set up a big tent on the top of the mountain and handed over everything to Wanyan Changzhi's arrangement.

Daikin and Shou fought for decades, and the quality of the infantry army also improved greatly. These 5,000 infantry troops were also the elite of Dajin, and as soon as they went up the mountain, they immediately shoveled soil halfway up the mountain to make a trench, build rocks into a trench, and cut down trees as an obstacle. The archers were stationed in dangerous positions, and the cavalry dismounted to rest. Under the dispatch of Wanyan Changzhi, it is also very orderly.

Borshu and Hechuer gathered the Mongol soldiers together and rested on the side. They watched Jin Jun busy while whispering from time to time.

At this time, the army of the Tatar tribe had also arrived at the foot of the hill, and when Wanyan Changzhi looked at it, there were indeed more than 30,000 people. In a short time, the Tatars had already prepared their men and horses, and a few horses crossed the crowd and pointed to the mountain, probably discussing how to attack the mountain.

At this time, Borshu came to Wanyan Changzhi's side, looked down the mountain, his face changed slightly, and said: "It turns out that there are Tai Yichi people and Mi'er beggars, no wonder they can send an army of 30,000."

Wanyan Changzhi pointed to the few people under the mountain: "General Borshu, do you know them?"

Borshu pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said: "General Wanyan, the one riding a yellow horse in the middle of the mountain is the younger brother of the leader of the Tatar tribe, Atan, and the one riding a black horse and wearing a bronze helmet is one of the three leaders of the Mi'er beggar tribe. The bald head on the red horse on the right is Taerhutai, the leader of the Mongolian Taiyichi tribe. ”

It turned out that since the Tatar Department turned against the Jin State, it was always on guard against the Jin State sending troops to attack it. When Hou Shu heard that the Jin State had sent an envoy to entitle Wang Han, Zamuhe, and Temujin, he knew that Dajin was going to deal with him. So the leader of the three tribes, Gu Zhen, wanted to rob and kill the envoys of the Jin State in the middle of the way, but he felt that his own strength was not enough, so he connected with the Tai Yi Chibu and the Mi'er Beggars, who had a grudge against Temujin, and the three allied forces totaled more than 30,000 people, and sent troops together to rob and kill the Jin envoys in the middle of the road.

At this time, the three coalition troops under the mountain suddenly shouted in unison, "Lotus, Lotus, Lotus". The Jin army was unguarded and was taken aback, and more than a dozen Jin soldiers who drew their bows let go and shot the arrows. It was still far from the enemy army below the hill and fell to the ground. Wan Yan Changyi frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Jin Bing's performance. I saw that the expressions on the faces of every Jin Bing were very nervous. Looking back, the two thousand iron floats still haven't changed their faces, and the bottom is the most elite centaur in Daikin. Looking at the five hundred Mongolian troops, Jing Ye's faces were calm, his expressions were relaxed, and he didn't mean to be nervous. Wanyan is a little admired, and this Mongolian army seems to be not to be underestimated.

Borshu was familiar with the tactics of the Tatars, and said to Wanyan Chang: "General Wanyan, they are about to start attacking. Before the words fell, the enemy army under the mountain slaughtered a detachment of men and horses, about 3,000, and rushed towards the mountain (full book)
