At the same time, he replied in a loud voice that was not inferior to Temujin: "Since I have been caught by you, it is up to you to kill or chop me." Why bother? ”

Temujin's eyes flashed with approval, and he said, "If you tell me where Wang Han has fled, I can spare your life." ”

He replied to the black said: "I fought unyieldingly, completely to protect my master. That's why I did my best to fight to the death to delay as long as possible, so that the lord could escape through the gap. Now that he has escaped, as his subordinate, how can I tell you where he fled and watched him be captured by you? So don't ask again, kill me, right? ”

After a long time, Temujin suddenly got up, came to Heda Heishenye, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are right, you can still be loyal to Wang Han in the midst of danger, and he is a good man. But now that Wang Han has been defeated, and you have done your best to him, there is no need to accompany him to die, if you can be loyal to me, I will not care about the past suspicions, if you insist on following Wang Han, then I will let you go and let you leave. ”

Then Temujin ordered someone to untie the rope of Hedahei, and said to him: "You can decide for yourself what to do." ”

He was stunned for a while, and suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "The Great Khan can take me in regardless of his previous suspicions, how can I not know what to do, I will be loyal to the Great Khan in the future, and serve to die to repay the Great Khan's grace of not killing today!" ”

Temujin laughed, lifted Hetahei up, and appointed him as the captain of the hundred, and listened to the master's subordinates.

After Heda went to black, Temujin ordered Chilaowen, Borhu, Jebe, and Butai to each bring a team of 1,000 people to search for the whereabouts of Wang Han and Sangkun, and also to find out the whereabouts of Zamuhe. Then he ordered Mu Huali and Zhi to strangle the two to be responsible for pacifying and reorganizing the people of Kereh.

At this time, someone came into the tent to report and said, "Great Khan, Zahe dares not to ask to see the Great Khan outside." ”

It turned out that after the battle of Hongliulin, because Zahe dared not to beat people to send a letter to Temujin, and when he learned of Temujin's defeat, he was also worried that the matter would be exposed, so he left the Black Forest with his people on the grounds of going out to graze. Later, he heard that Temujin led an army to attack the Black Forest and defeated Wang Han, so he returned to the Black Forest to meet Temujin.

Temujin had been waiting for Zahe to dare not come. Because Zahedang is not Wang Han's own brother, although he has been suppressed by Wang Han in the ministry, he does not have much power, he is gentle and fair, and he is regarded as a generous elder in the Kereh Ministry, quite respected, and now that Wang Han and Sangkun are not there, he can become a person who is convinced by the people of the Kereh Ministry, and can play an important role in stabilizing the hearts of the people of the Kereh Ministry, and quickly restoring order.

Sure enough, Zahe dared not come to see Temujin, and immediately expressed his willingness to lead his people to surrender to Temujin. He also actively helped Temujin, pacified his people, restored order, and obeyed the control of the Mongol army. Some of those who were prepared to continue the resistance were persuaded to lay down their arms and accept the integration and regrouping of the Mongol army.

In fact, this kind of tribe-to-tribe annexation and division is a common thing in the grasslands, and for the vast majority of herdsmen, they are willing to submit to the strong, a strong man who can protect them. When Wang Han defeated others, they would be subordinated to Wang Han, and if Temujin defeated Wang Han, they would submit to Temujin. With the exception of a tiny fraction of the population, no one would follow the old declining tribes with all their hearts. Back then, when the tribesmen who accompanied the beggar abandoned Temujin's mother and son and left, it was like this. Later, when Temujin became powerful, they all returned to their clan, and the same was true again.

Moreover, with the help of Zaheda, coupled with the preferential service given by the Mongolian army to the people who surrendered to Chengcheng, the people of the Kereh tribe quickly accepted the reality and showed great cooperation and obedience to the Mongolian army. As a result, the integration of the Ministry of Martyrs proceeded very smoothly. Men in the prime of life were incorporated into the various units of the Mongolian army according to their specialties, while craftsmen with a skill were all retained in the Mongolian department according to the usual practice of the Mongolian army, and the unified arrangement was carried out. The rest of the elderly, women, and children, with the exception of a few who were assigned as slaves, were also properly placed and scattered among the other tribes of Mongolia.

In just over 20 days, the once powerful Kereh tribe and the former Turkic descendants on the steppe fell apart and ceased to exist. The Kereh tribe was a large tribe that dominated the steppe for decades, and the tribe accumulated a large number of people and livestock, wealth and material, all of which became part of Mongolia.

As for Zaheda, who had made great contributions in this matter, Temujin also gave him special treatment, and his people were not scattered, and they were still led by Zaheda, and a place with abundant water and grass was divided for him in the Black Forest as a camping station.

At the same time, Temujin also married the eldest daughter of Zahedabu, Yibahebeji, as his Kodun, and let his youngest son Tulei be engaged to Zaheda's second daughter, Sha'erhehehetani Beji. Use marriage as a bond to strengthen integration and assimilation.

The father and son marry a pair of sisters, this kind of thing is naturally an unethical form of marriage in the eyes of the Han people, but it is extremely common in the grassland.

After the reorganization was successfully completed, the tracking troops of Chilaowen, Borhu, Jebe, Butai, and others also returned, bringing Temujin definite news about the final fate of Wang Han's father and son. At the same time, he also brought back news of Zamuhe.

It was at this moment that Temujin immediately realized that a new war had begun.

Jebe led a thousand-strong team, based on the traces left by the defeated soldiers of the Kerebu, traced all the way to the foot of Hangai Mountain. Despite the fact that the front was already the territory of the Nabarian tribe, Jebe still led his army forward in hot pursuit. A few days later, they came to the banks of the Baitara River, where they encountered a small patrol of barbarians. A fierce battle ensued between the two sides. Jebe defeated the barbarian army and captured two dozen captives.

From the mouths of these captives, it was learned that Wang Han fled to the territory of Naiban alone, and was captured by a general named Huoli Bechi. But he didn't believe that the ragged, gray-faced, and bereaved old man in front of him was the fierce rival of the barbarians for decades, the famous overlord of the grassland, Wang Han, so he cut off Xuan Han's head on the spot. At the same time, it was also learned that more than two months ago, Zamuhe came to Naiman, and the lord Tayang Khan accepted Zamuhe, and was moved by Zamuhe's words and decided to send troops to attack Mongolia.

Knowing that Wang Han was dead, and that he had the whereabouts of Zamuhe, who had not been able to be found, Jebe immediately returned to the Black Forest to meet Temujin and report the news.

On the other way, he also found a harvest in Butai, who searched for Sankun, and he met a couple who came to surrender with Sangkun on the way. The man's name was Kuokuo, and he was Sankun's groom. A woman is a broad wife.

It turned out that Sangkun saw that the Kereh tribe was in a big situation, collected the treasures in the big tent, left Wang Han and his family, and took Kuokuo out and his wife to serve. Heading all the way to the northwest, he planned to flee to the Qiergis in the upper reaches of the Erqisi River in Ye'er for refuge.

Kuokuo felt that it would not be good to follow someone like him, so he consulted with his wife and planned to assassinate him while Sang Kunqi was asleep, intending to ask Temujin for a reward.

Kuokuo's wife also disagreed, and said: "The master of Sangkun has always had good clothes, good tea and rice for you, but now that the master is in trouble, how can you hurt him." I'm not going to be such an ungrateful person. ”

Kuokuo did not listen, but still killed Sankun and took his head to Temujin.

After the report was completed, Butai offered Sangkun's rank, and at the same time, he also brought Kuokuo to Temujin and asked him to fall. Temujin didn't care about Sangkun's rank. For this person who was despised by him before his death, he didn't pay any attention after his death, but just ordered someone to take it away and bury it.

Then his gaze fell on the face of the surrenderer. Although Kuokuo fell to his knees, he thought that he had merit, and showed a complacent look, Temujin glanced at him, and said coldly: "A person who cannot be loyal to his lord dares to kill him, and he is still cheeky to ask for a reward, do you really know that there is still a word for shame in the world?" What is the use of such unfaithful and unrighteous people? Push out and kill with a knife, and the corpses are scattered to the battalions, thinking that they are alert! ”

Two quivers had already come forward and put up their broad arms, and dragged them out of the tent. Kuokuo's face changed greatly, and he struggled and said: "Great Khan, why do you want to kill me, isn't the person standing next to you Heda Hei?" Didn't he also betray the monarch and surrender to you, why don't you kill him, you want to kill me alone. ”

Temujin laughed, turned his head, and said to Hedahei: "Did you hear it, Hedahei, he claims to be the same kind as you!" ”

He looked at Kuang Kuo with disdain, and said, "Great Khan, I don't have the honor to be with such a person. ”

Only at the last moment of the war, Hedahei was still fighting desperately to cover Wang Han's retreat, until he was captured at the end of his strength, which could be regarded as being benevolent and righteous for the sake of the old master. Even after surrendering Temujin, it never occurred to him to please the new lord with the head of the old lord. Therefore, being regarded as a person of the same kind by Kuokuo is naturally extremely angry in his heart.

Temujin nodded and said, "Okay, Hetahei, I have the same opinion as you, now I will authorize you to deal with him." ”

He replied to the black line and said, "Thank you, Great Khan." So saying, he walked a few steps, grabbed the wide placket of his coat, and dragged him out of the tent.
