）．］８〉１?Ｚ〕〕．} COM Temujin also felt at a loss, so he had to sit alone in the big tent and meditate, but he couldn't think of a way to break through the defense line of the Jin army.

It was only then that Temujin felt that he had despised Jin Jun too much. And at this time, Temujin couldn't help but think about how good it would be if the Song army was here, and when there was Western Xia, he had seen the Song army's ability to attack fortifications, and all kinds of offensive equipment, and with the Mongolian cavalry, he would definitely be able to break through the Jin army's defense line.

Temujin did not fail to think that since he could not break through the defense line of the Jin army, he would simply withdraw his troops back to Mongolia. However, firstly, it is difficult to get by in terms of face, and secondly, the upper reaches of the Ulugray River were originally a buffer zone between the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia, and it is only more than 500 miles away from the main Mongolian camp set up by Temujin on the shore of Yuer'er, and in terms of cavalry, it can be reached in two or three days.

At this moment, Temu's heart moved, and he vaguely felt that he had captured something, and he was about to think about it. At this time, Nayaa, the captain of the guard, went into the big tent and reported that the bald flower had returned.

Temujin was slightly stunned, and Yelu Bald Flower and Yelu Zhenhai brothers went to Shangjing to contact the Khitan, Xi, and Han ethnic groups to rebel against the Jin State, but there was no news back. Now that he is here, there must be something important. If the Yelu brothers can succeed in Shangjing, they can also have some relief to themselves, and maybe they can open up the situation. Therefore, although Temujin was upset, he still suppressed his unhappiness and said to Nayaa, "Please let him in." ”

After a while, Nayaa walked into the tent with Jerod Bald. When Yelu saw Temujin, and then sat down on the ground, Hulan saw that Temujin was receiving his generals, so he dared to come and wait, and brought them mare's milk wine.

Temujin picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Bald, your brothers have worked hard, come, have a drink first, how are things going in Shangjing!" ”

Yelu Bald also picked up the wine glass, drank it all, then shook his head, and said, "Great Khan, it's really hard to say!" However, I came to Daying this time, not only to report to you about going to Beijing, but to bring you a great virtuous person. ”

As soon as he heard that Yelu Bald had brought a great virtuous material, Temujin immediately let go of other worries, lifted his spirits, and said, "What kind of virtuous material?" To be able to get such a serious recommendation from your two brothers, it must not be an ordinary talent. ”

Yelu Bald said: "Speaking of this person, he is a member of our Khitan clan, and he is very famous among our Khitan people, not only well-read, especially through the scriptures and history, resourceful, but also astronomical geography, Qimen Dunjia, calendar and arithmetic, all know, all know. Some people even say that he is half a living immortal. If the Great Khan can get this person's support, why worry about the big thing. ”

The more Temujin listened, the more interested he became, and said, "Is there such a strange material in the world?" He was there, did you bring him here? ”

Yelu was a little embarrassed, and said: "Great Khan, although he came with me, he did not say that he must submit to the Great Khan, but hoped to make a decision after an interview with the Great Khan. If the Great Khan did not meet his wishes, he walked away even more. ”

Temujin laughed and said, "Such a person is really interesting, Bald, since you have invited him." Take me out quickly, and bring him into his account. ”

Yelu Bald Flower immediately got up and said, "Da Pollution, please come with me." ”

Temujin led the Mongolian generals, followed Yelu Bald out of the big tent, only to see a person standing not far from the tent, this person's figure is extremely tall, looking at the entire Mongolian army, there are few people who can reach, standing proudly, wide robe and big sleeves, although he can't see his face clearly, but you can see a long ink paint hair under his chin, facing the gale wind, the sleeves of the robe are elegant, the long beard is flying, and his bearing is elegant but awe-inspiring. Yerod's stature was not low, but in front of that person, it could only be slightly higher than his shoulders.

I only heard Yelu Bald come to the man and said, "Brother Jin Qing, the Great Khan personally came out of the camp to pick you up, please come with me." ”

The man turned his head to look at this side, followed Yelu Bald Flower to Temujin, waved the dust whisk in his hand, bowed slightly, and said, "In the lower Yelu Chucai, I have seen the Great Khan." ”

At this time, Temujin saw clearly the appearance of this tall man named Yelu Chucai, only to see a pair of long eyebrows, almost obliquely inserted into the temples of the ears, a pair of eyes flashing with aura and wisdom under the long eyebrows, and the long black beard from the chin to the cheeks, which hung down all the way to his chest. And what I just said was actually a Mongolian dialect with a round tone. Temujin also liked it very much, and couldn't help but say, "What a beautiful beard." ”

Yelu Chucai said lightly: "The Great Khan has spoken. ”

Temujin couldn't help laughing and said, "Long beard, let's talk again in the big tent." ”

After the group came to the tent and sat down, the maids offered mare's milk wine, and after Yelu Chucai took it, he drank it all in one fell slight, and there was no difficulty in swallowing. When Temujin saw it, he liked it even more, and said: "Long beard, listen to Ah Hai and Bald Flower, you are a rare strange material among the Khitans, your homeland was destroyed by the Jin people, and now my Mongolia is now fighting against the Jin country, just to avenge your homeland, and talents like you should help me defeat the Jin country." ”

In front of the Khitans, Genghis Khan always used revenge on the Jin State as a bait and portrayed himself as an avenger, so he won the full support of Yelu Ahai, Bald Flower and others. Now facing Yelu Chucai, he once again used this method, hoping to get Yelu Chucai's approval first, and then pull him into his banner.

Yelu Chucai smiled faintly, shook his head, and said: "The Great Khan is not right, the success or failure of the dynasty must have a reason. The fall of the Liao State lies in the fact that the monarch does not cultivate morality, the ministers do not cultivate righteousness, the army does not cultivate wisdom, the scholars do not cultivate etiquette, and the people do not cultivate faith, which can be redeemed by non-human beings. Otherwise, even if the Jin State has a million soldiers, what is there to fear. Chu Cai is shallow, but it must also be said that such a country and such a court, if they do not perish, it will be intolerable to heaven. ”

Temujin was surprised by Yelu Chucai's answer, although he still couldn't fully understand Yelu Chucai's words, but he also vaguely felt that there was some truth. At the same time, he felt that Yelu Chucai and himself, and the generals around him, including Yelu Ahai and the Yelu Bald Brothers, were all completely different people. Although he still doesn't understand what use Yelu Chucai will have for himself, Tie Xuan really instinctively feels that he definitely needs this kind of person around him.

Therefore, Temujin smiled and said, "Long beard, your answer is very surprising to me, and I can't figure it out for a while, if you want, please come with me back to the camp by the fisher's sea, and I want you to ask for advice." ”

The generals were all stunned, and in their memories, their own Great Khan had never said anything to that person to ask for advice.

Yelu Chucai smiled faintly and said, "Go back to the camp with the general?" Could it be that the Great Khan intended to withdraw his troops? ”

Tie Mu's heart moved, and the situation he saw was not just an opportunity to test whether this Yelu Chucai had real talent or was deliberately pretending. So he said, "Long beard, so what do you think I should do now?" ”

Yelu Chucai looked at Temujin for a while and said, "Is it so difficult that the Great Khan still doesn't understand the current situation? The Jin army simply deliberately dragged the Mongol army here. Now the Great Khan's Mongol army is alone, and if it does not withdraw, the Mongol army will be defeated in ten days. ”

As soon as he said this, the entire big tent immediately exploded, and the Mongolian generals looked at Yelu Chucai angrily. Because now although the Mongol army cannot break through the position of the Jin army, it can be said that it has the advantage to trap the Jin army, and the Mongol army can have the final say on advancing or retreating, how can it be said that the situation is critical? Moreover, Yelu Chucai obviously had a hint of disdain for the Mongol army in his words.

Although the calm personality of Bo'er Shu and Zhi Zhi can still calm down, their eyes also show a look of dissatisfaction with Yelu Chucai. And the impatient people of the master, Butai, and Kublai couldn't bear it, and they reprimanded one after another: "Nonsense, what do you know? "Now the golden dogs have been killed by us." "The golden dog only dares to hide in the village and not come out, what is there to be afraid of." "I think you're a spy sent by the Golden Dog."

Jochi and Chagatai's hands grabbed the hilt of their swords, staring at Ritsuya Chucai with hatred. Wokotai hurriedly pressed his hands on the shoulders of the two brothers, reminding them not to be impulsive. Among all the generals, only Mu Huali bowed his head and remained silent, as if he was thinking carefully about Yelu Chucai's words.

Yelu Bald Flower on the side was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly glanced at Yelu Chucai and asked him to say a few words of relief. But Lu Ye Chucai turned a blind eye to this, and in the face of the reprimands and angry eyes of the Mongolian generals, he was still calm, his demeanor was calm, and he did not have the slightest fear.

Temujin's heart suddenly lit up, and the confusion that had been haunting his heart just now was suddenly solved, and he finally understood what Yelu Chucai meant. At the same time, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and secretly said in his heart: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous." It's just a little bit off. ”

At this moment, Mu Huali also raised his head, and happened to make eye contact with Temujin, and suddenly both of them understood that the other party had figured it out. Temujin immediately said: "Borshu, Mu Huali, Chilaowen, and Borer are ignoring orders. ”

When the four of them heard this, they all hurriedly got up, but except for Mu Huali, the other three had a little dazed on their faces, and they didn't understand what Temujin meant by suddenly calling the four of them.

Temujin said, "The four of you will take 10,000 horses and go out at once, and rush back to the camp by the sea." There is no need to ask the reason, come out now, the sooner the better, and listen to Mu Huali explain to you on the way. ”
