One Hundred and Fourteen Farewell to Wang Han (3)
Temujin immediately ordered people to collect the troops and find a place to temporarily detain them. At the same time, he also taught people to collect the corpses of the missing men and stones, find a place to bury them, and sighed: "Such a heroic hero, it's a pity that it can't be used by us Mongolia." β
Borshu also said: "It's a pity that such a good man was born in the Kereh Department and was buried under Wang Han. β
At this time, Zhe Zhi rushed to Temujin's side and said, "Great Khan, now that the Kerebu Yijing has only his last breath left, give the order to attack?" We captured the hill in one go and captured Wang Han's old fox alive. β
Temujin looked at the hill, smiled slightly, and said, "We all came here from a long distance, and the men and horses are very tired, so let's rest for a day first, and then attack tomorrow, right?" β
Zhi Zhi was a little puzzled, and said: "Great Khan, wait until tomorrow, Wang Han may have ** time again, or strike while the iron is hot now, catch Wang Han, so as not to have many dreams at night." β
Temujin laughed and said, "Don't worry, at this point, Wang Han can't afford to turn over much of the wind and waves, and we have other things to do." β
Temujin immediately ordered Borshu and Muhuali to lead 10,000 men and horses to guard the hill pass to prevent the Kreh army from counterattacking, and the other generals led their men and horses to reorganize the first half of the Kreh camp. Pacify the remaining tribesmen and collect their property, grain, and livestock.
Because Temujin saw from the scriptures that Wang Han's general trend had gone, and now he was just surviving for a while, but if he launched an attack at this time, although he could capture the hill, but under the trapped beasts of the Kereh army, fighting desperately, it would also cause great losses to the Mongol army, so it was better to slow down first, let the Kereh army find out that the general trend was gone, and then resist, and the Yijing had no meaning and collapsed on its own.
At the same time, Temujin's attitude towards the Kereh tribe was different from that towards the Tatar tribe, the Mi'er beggar tribe, and the Taiyi Chibu tribe, and he did not have a deep hatred for the Kereh tribe itself, and Temujin also admired the generals of the Kereh tribe, such as the Begbeg, the Hetahei, and the Huoli Lost Liemen Taishi, and the clans that were famous for their bravery and good fighting, such as Ge Erjin, Tumian Tu Beigan, and Dong Aihe, and so on, and if they were incorporated into the Mongolian army, they would not only greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army, but also make up for the losses caused by this war as soon as possible.
Now that the overall situation is basically settled, it is the top priority at present to appease the people's hearts, minimize the antipathy and hatred of the people of the Kereh tribe towards the Mongolian army, and truly subdue the Kereh tribe for their own use as soon as possible.

After the defeated army retreated to the hill with the defeated army, Wang Han's heart relaxed when he saw that the Mongol army did not follow and attack the mountain. And after Bilge Beg retreated to the hill, he also immediately ordered to prepare for defense to prevent the Mongol army from attacking the mountain later. At this time, there were less than 10,000 people in the Kereh army on the hill, and under the hill, the number of the Mongolian army was at least more than 20,000 people, Wang Han looked at the more frightened he became, although the Mongolian army did not attack for a long time, but for the Kereh army on the hill, it was necessary to be vigilant at any time, and did not dare to relax at all.
The sky is gradually darkening, if the Mongol army immediately launches an attack to be better, there is no need to think too much, just pick up arms and fight with the Mongol army, but now the Mongol army does not seem to have the intention of attacking the mountain immediately, but instead set up camp under the hill, and began to clean up after the war. And the Kreh army on the hill couldn't help but be a little overwhelmed.
After the tension was relaxed, it was replaced by a state of confusion, helplessness, loss and despair, and every soldier of the Kereh army saw no hope of victory over the Mongol army, no future. However, the Mongol army cleaned up the camp under the hill, pacified the people, and collected the prisoners, but they all saw it clearly, because they saw that the Mongol army did not treat their compatriots roughly, but treated them very kindly, so everyone had the heart of surrendering to the Mongol army after being laid off.
Just as Temujin thought, a temporary slowdown can successfully play a role in breaking the morale of the opponent's army.
Wang Han sat on a big rock on the hill, and watched the sun slowly set down the hill, and the day passed like this. Wang Han suddenly remembered whether the current Kerebu was like the sun that was gradually setting, and would it be able to withdraw from the grassland forever, and would he still be able to see the sun rise again tomorrow?
At this time, Bilge Beg came to Wang Han's side and said, "Great Khan, it seems that the Mongol army will not attack today, so you better go back to your tent and rest first!" It's just me and Heda Black guarding here. β
Wang Han stared blankly at the last bit of afterglow of the sunset in the sky, and finally disappeared into the sky. As if asking Bilge Beg, and as if he was muttering to himself, he said, "Today the Mongol army will not attack, so what about tomorrow?" Will we survive tomorrow? β
Bilege begged for a while, wanting to comfort Wang Han for a few words, but he didn't know what to say. The two were relatively silent, and after a long time, Wang Han sighed, got up and returned to his tent.
When I entered the tent, I saw that the big tent was in a mess, the tables and chairs were overturned, and the utensils, bowls, cups and plates were all over the ground. All the chests were opened, and the animal skins and fabrics in the boxes were turned over and over again. Moreover, his two attendants were also tied up and lying on the ground, their mouths gagged. Wang Han hurriedly walked over, pulled out a strip of cloth from the mouth of one of the attendants, and asked, "What's going on?" How are you going to be tied up."
The servant exhaled a breath and said with a sad face: "Great Khan, it's Sangkun, he tied us up, took all the treasures, and ran away with Kuokuo. β
Wang Han's eyes were dark, his body shook a few times, and he almost fell to the ground, and there was only one thought in his heart, that is, it was completely finished.

By the next day, most of the martyrs on the hill had dispersed, and many of them had gone down the mountain to surrender to the Mongol army.
Temujin laughed and said, "You see, I am not wrong in what I said, just wait a day, and the Kreh army will collapse on its own." β
Zhe Lezhen admired: "This is the great Khan's foresight, and our Mongolian department will definitely unify the entire steppe." β
Temujin then ordered an attack. Let Borshu, Mubili, Chilaowen, and Borhu lead 10,000 horses to attack the hill. At this time, the Kereh army on the hill, with less than 3,000 men, and all of them had no fighting spirit, saw the Mongol army attacking, and only made a slight resistance, and then collapsed.
The Mongol army successfully attacked the hill, and after killing more than a dozen Mongol soldiers, he finally died in the chaos because he was outnumbered. Another of Naiman's generals, Hetahei, was also fighting to the death, and was finally shot in the left arm by Jebel's arrow, allowing Borshu to knock off his horse and be captured by the Mongol army.
Temujin led the Mongol army, once again kicked on the high post, surrounded by the generals, into the golden tent that symbolized the power center of the Kereh tribe, and after nearly 20 years of bloody hard fighting and dismal management, finally defeated this strong opponent. All the glory, power, wealth, and territory that once belonged to Wang Han have finally become his own.
In the cheers and laughter of the Mongolian army celebrating the victory, Temujin closed his eyes slightly, and the past scenes clearly appeared in front of him:
On the bank of the Hannan River, on the endless barren grassland, in order to snatch a silver fish, he and his younger brother Hasal shot and killed his half-brother Bektier, he listened to his wail and looked at his gaze, was that the beginning of his life's conquest? .
In the sixteenth year of his own year, the Taiyichi people came, surrounded the Buerhan Mountain, nine days and nine nights, and finally starved, walked out of the mountain, and suffered humiliation, but met the beautiful and gentle girl Heda'an. In order to recover his eight horses, he met the brave and faithful Borshu.
When you were nineteen years old, by the beautiful Timid Green River, and by the beautiful wife Bortier, where were you? The Mi'er beggars came, and the camp they had painstakingly managed was full of fire, and they all escaped, leaving his wife Bortier captive by the enemy. It was Wang Han and Zamuhe who helped him send troops to help in the war, and finally almost killed all the beggars and recaptured his wife and first son, Jochi......
At the age of twenty-three, he finally regrouped, called the Mongol Khan, accepted the Jin State's strategy, and conquered the Tatars, but from then on, he and Zamuhe became enemies, followed by the Battle of the Thirteen Wings and the Battle of Kuanyida......
However, today, Wang Han and Zamuhe were defeated under their own hands, everyone was defeated, and the entire steppe was under the control of the Mongols, and it was over, everything was over...... No...... No, no, no...... They haven't been caught, Wang Han hasn't been caught, and Zamuhe hasn't been caught, they will never be reconciled, they will definitely find a way to defeat themselves, and they must not be allowed to surrender.
Temujin opened his eyes suddenly, and said, "Is there any news of Wang Han and Sang Kun?" β
Mu Huali said: "After we went up the hill, we only captured their families, but we didn't see Wang Han and Sang Kun, and I heard from the soldiers of the Kereh Department that they had already fled. β
Temujin nodded, this is not surprising, Wang Han and Sang Kun are the ones who are in such danger and take care of themselves first. On the contrary, it would be strange if they fought with the soldiers until the last moment.
Borshu said: "Great Khan, we have captured the general of the Kereh tribe, Hetahei, and do not visit him, maybe he knows where Wang Han has fled?" β
Temujin said, "Okay, bring the black with you." β
After a while, several guards pushed into the tent in a big bundle. Temujin smiled and said, "Hetahei, now that you are caught by me, do you want to die or live?" β
