However, this brutal act of Zamuhe, far from frightening the Mongol army, aroused the anger of the Mongol army, because of the lack of Mujin strictly ordered all armies not to fight, but when the thirteen allied forces came to attack Taniguchi again, the Mongol soldiers fought harder. Each time, it inflicted great damage on the thirteen coalition forces.

Moreover, at this time, most of the food of the thirteen allied armies was exhausted, and each department had to go to the vicinity to hunt to maintain, but to maintain the tribute of the 30,000 army, within a few days, the nearby beasts were all gone.

Therefore, after another four or five days, the thirteen allied forces were still unable to attack one step into the valley, and Zamuhe's patience was finally reached to the limit, and he was afraid that Wang Han would take the opportunity to attack him, although he was unwilling, he could only order the army. After the withdrawal of the 13 allied forces, Temujin led his army out of the Zhele Valley and returned to the Sangul River to re-establish camp.

In this way, what should have been a big battle to change the pattern of the grassland ended in an unexpected way. Except for the fierce battle between the two sides on the first day, the rest of the time was basically Zamuhe in the main attack, and Allah in Temu. The largest scale of the offensive and defensive battles carried out did not exceed more than 1,000 people. A great battle of 30,000 against 30,000 men and disproportionately, the losses on both sides were only within 3,000.

Therefore, although the war has been at a rapid pace, the balance of strength between the various tribes on the steppe has not changed in any way. And the extremely cruel scene of the war, boiling prisoners and eating them, seems to be the only thing unusual about this war. But for the two warring sides, Temujin and Zamuhe, this was only a small episode on the battlefield that would soon be forgotten.

The results of the war also reached the Kerebu, and the results of the war naturally made Wang Han look forward to it. The result he most hoped for would be that both Temujin and Zamuhe would lose, and that he would be able to reap the benefits. But the two warring sides seemed to have seen through Wang Han's thoughts, and always controlled the battle within a certain range. After the end of the war, neither side suffered much loss, and the strength remained.

And after the Tatar tribe and the Mier beggar were weakened by the heavy blow, a situation was formed on the steppe in which Wang Han, Zamuhe, and Temujin stood side by side. And the Naiban tribe of Xitui is now divided into two, and it is also difficult to fight fiercely for the throne of the two ancient Guti and Tayang Buhua of the two of them.

After Yan Changzhi learned about the process of this war in detail, he couldn't help but sigh: "Temujin really went through the disaster. ”

Wanyan Fushou was a little puzzled: "Changzhi, how can you say this publicly, I think this battle is still won by Zamuhe, and Temujin is lost." ”

Wanyan Changzhi shook his head and said: "On the surface, it was Zamuhe who attacked, and Temujin retreated, it seems that Zamuhe won." But judging by the results after the war, the losses on both sides were within three thousand people, which was about the same. It won't hurt both sides, and it won't have any impact on the situation in the entire grassland. ”

Wanyan Fushou said with a smile: "Changzhi said that according to this duke, the two sides are actually tied, so what do you say about Temujin's strong cellar?" ”

Wan Yan Changzhi smiled bitterly, his old Taishan is familiar with power tricks and political routines, but he is not so good at military affairs. He explained: "The purpose of this battle was to completely destroy or inflict heavy damage on Temujin, and Temujin's purpose was to preserve his strength and repel Zamuhe. Therefore, judging from the results, it was Temujin who achieved his strategic goal, not Zamuhe. Perhaps in the eyes of others Temujin was defeated, but in the eyes of the Mongol army, Temujin was only retreating, not defeated. Therefore, Temujin's prestige within the Mongol tribe will not be reduced, let alone divorced. What's more, after the battle between the Tatars and the Murbeg, the strength and population of the Mongols have increased greatly, as long as there is enough time to digest the results of these two battles, then Temujin's strength will be further improved, and the next time Zamuhe fights against Temujin, it will not be so easy to deal with. It can be said that if they wanted to get rid of Temujin, Wang Han and Zamuhe missed the best opportunity. ”

Wanyan Fushou said: "Isn't this also good?" Let Wang Han, Zamuhe and Temujin hold each other back, and there will be constant war on the grassland forever, and there will be no trouble in the north of my Dajin. And in a few years, we Dajin will be able to relieve this breath, and when something happens, we will be able to use troops against the grassland. At that time, you can destroy whoever you want, whether it is Temujin, Wang Han, or Zamuhe, there will be no more problems. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded, he admitted that Wan Yan Fushou made sense. In the end, it's still in Daikin itself. As long as Dajin guarantees strong force, then everything is not to be worried.

Wanyan Fushou said again: "Changzhi, I think it is not too short for us to come to Mobei's elbows, and now the Tatars have also been destroyed, and the Mi'er beggars have also been destroyed, and Temujin and Wang Han have also been sealed." I think that the mission of our mission is complete. It's time for us to go back to Xuan and hand over our lives to the emperor. Now that it's the end of November, go back a little earlier to do some New Year's goods, and you and Ruixian will have a better New Year. ”

Wan Yan thought that his newlywed wife who was still waiting for him to go back at home, and he suddenly hated to fly back to the capital immediately. He said, "Father-in-law, what you said is that we really should go back." ”

The next day, Yan Fushou came to bid farewell to Wang Han. When Wang Han heard this, he gave them a great farewell feast and gave them a large number of gifts, cattle and slaves. Then he still left his younger brother Zha not to be stationed in the black forest, in case of barbarians, he and Er Sangkun led the army to escort the Jin army away from the grassland.

When passing through the Mongol tribe, Temujin took them to the ministry and set up a banquet for them to practice. During the banquet, Wanyan Fushou proposed to let Wang Han and Temujin pay tribute to the Jin State once. Both of them also agreed. In this way, the Jin army stayed in the Mongol department for three more days, and Temujin also gave them a large number of gifts, and then ordered Borshu, Heqi'er, and Belgutai to escort the Jin army.

However, Wanyan Changzhi found that the tribesmen of the Mongolian tribe seemed to have increased a lot. Moreover, the other leaders of the tribes around Temujin also had many new faces, such as the leader of the Ulu Vulti tribe, and the leader of the Hushu tribe. Wan Yan Changzhi vaguely remembered that these two people were originally attached to Zamuhe? How did you get to Temujin's side?

However, in the Mongolian Ministry, it is not easy for Wanyan Changzhi to ask Temujin carefully. Later, on the way back to the capital, Wanyan Changzhi asked a few slaves given to him by Temujin, and only then did he know the reason for the incident.

It turned out that this incident, which was later called the Battle of the Thirteen Wings by the Mongols, was not a small episode, and neither of Temujin nor Zamuhe could have imagined that the consequences of this incident, which seemed to be a little appalling at the time, but actually had little effect, went far beyond the war itself.

In general, the negative reputation of the defeated is not good and may even reduce the prestige of the leader. People will question the ability of the vanquished, and when their subordinates are convinced that their leader is not enough to protect them, they will choose to leave him. On the grassland, the tragedy of rebellion and separation due to defeat has always been staged one after another. However, after Temujin's defeat, his fame was not diminished by the horrors of the prisoners of war, but increased again.

Within a few days after the war, Temujin's camp began to appear with tribesmen who had left the Zamuhe camp to defect, and since then there has been an endless stream of people, and the scale has also shown a trend of skyrocketing. Several clans had set up camps to defect to Temujin. Temujin was so pleased with this result that he immediately met with each of the tribes who came to him and listened to their appeals. In unison, these men denounced Zamuhe's brutal and inhumane war atrocities and expressed their reverence for Temujin.

Among the tribes that came to vote, the most surprising thing for Temujin was the Ulu Uti and the Huhu Ti who had dealt a serious blow to the Mongol army on the battlefield. These are two powerful armies in the steppe that are known for their bravery and good fighting. Now, under the leadership of their leaders, the lord of the Gang and the Fear, they also stood under the banner of Temujin. This greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian Division.

Another person of extraordinary significance to Temujin was called Monlik. He was an old man of the Qiyan tribe, but after the death of Temujin's father, he defected to Taiyichibe, and when he returned to the Mongolian tribe, Temujin still treated everyone who came to him like everyone who came to him, and even more enthusiastically embraced him with his strong arms and welcomed him.

On the one hand, this is a gesture to appease the newly resettled herders. On the other hand, Munkeli's Changkuang is a famous sorcerer in the steppe, and the god of the Mongolian tribe is the immortal heaven, and with them in the Mongolian tribe, it means that Temujin has the protection of immortality.

Therefore, the evil consequences of this seemingly inconspicuous incident to Zamuhe and the windfall to Temujin were unexpected by both sides. However, after invisibly, the balance of power between the Mongolian and Zatalan tribes was changed, and the pattern on the steppe was also changed.

After Yan Changzhi listened, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, this is really not as good as the sky.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Historically, the Battle of the Thirteen Wings took place around 1190, and the conquest of the Tatars took place in 1195 or 1196

The Battle of the Thirteen Wings was the Battle of Guan Jian, in which Temujin turned from weak to strong, and the general process was divided into two parts according to Miao Xu, the first part was the Battle of the Thirteen Wings, in which Temujin lost, and the latter part was held in the Zhelie Valley, and the Zamu could not be attacked, and the incident of cooking prisoners occurred. Of course, in terms of hindsight, Temujin outperformed Zamuhe at least strategically, but tactically he did fail.

But because of the claim that the descendants of Temujin were defeated in this battle by their ancestors. The "Yuan History" described this defeat as a victory. Yuan: Zamu was resentful, so he conspired with the Taichiwu tribes and fought with 30,000 people. When the emperor garrison answered the Lan version of the field of thought, heard the change, a large collection of troops, divided into ten and three wings. It has been combined with Zamu, and the emperor and the war have been broken.

As a result, some historical sources have recorded the cooking of the captives on Temujin's head. Cai Dongfan's "Romance of the Yuan History" adopts this statement.

Only the "Secret History of the Mongols" has no concealment and truthfully records the true situation of this battle. However, the Secret History says that some wolves were cooked, thus covering up a brutal massacre in Mongol history. It was originally: riontchinosonk&oml;'didlntogho'odbotchldjo. It is to the effect that when he returned, Zamuhe boiled the kings of China in seventy pots. Tchinos means wolf. According to the Rasht book, the Chinese are tribal names. Under the Niren Articles, there is "The people of Chinasi are also called 'nègz'". (Readwo.nbn.)
