116 ending - Zamuhe
After three days of repairs at Hangai Mountain, the Mongol army immediately marched on victory. Because more than 100,000 Naiban troops were defeated by the Mongol army in Hangai Mountain, Tayang Khan, Kekexue Wusa Wurahei, Huoli Subechi died in battle, Gu'er Besi and Tata Tonga surrendered, and Qu Chulu did not know where to go, so the Mongol army did not encounter any resistance at all, and the soldiers arrived in the central area of the Naiban Department without blood, Altai Mountain.
After arriving at Altai Mountain, the Mongol army also saw how rich the Naiban was, their tents were much wider than those of the Mongols, and there were even some houses made of stone and wood, and the interior decoration was also very ornate. Although there were few men in the whole ministry because of the war, and most of them were women and children working, herds of cattle and sheep could be seen everywhere at the foot of the Altai Mountain.
In the Naiban tribe, Guerbes's speech obviously carried more weight than Tayang Khan, and the Mongol army held the military power of Hangaishan hostage, and the soldiers of the remaining tribes honestly laid down their arms and surrendered.
When she returned to her ministry, she was full of energy, and like a hostess who warmly entertained her guests, she led the Mongol army into Naiman's garrison, assigned each Mongol general a comfortable tent to rest, and arranged for beautiful women to serve them. Naturally, Temujin lived in the palace where she and Tayang Khan lived. At the same time, Guerbesi ordered countless cattle and sheep to be sacrificed to comfort the Mongolian army.
After days of fighting, the Mongol army finally got the time when they could enjoy the fruits of their victory with peace of mind, and Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru were also assigned to a large mansion, and there were twenty female slaves to serve.
Located on the edge of the hot springs of Mount Altae, Naiman's palace is tall and spacious, with rich Persian carpets on the floor and fine Song Dynasty silk hanging on the walls. The utensils used were made of gold, and they were served by countless beautiful women dressed in light veils.
In the body of Gu'er Besi, Temujin finally experienced a kind of unique style of mature beauty, Mongolian women are not as coquettish, Tatar women are not as delicate as her, and Kereh's women are not as gentle as her, this is really a peerless stunner.
However, Temujin was not obsessed with the gentleness of Gulbes, and he still did not forget his work after the war. Temujin did not have a deep hatred for the Naiban tribe, and the tenacious spirit of Kexue Wusa Wurahei, Huoli Subechi and others against the Mongol army also made Temujin admire this tribe very much, if it were not for a cowardly leader like Tayang Khan, and a strong person to lead, the Naiban army was also a force to be reckoned with.
For these reasons, Temujin planned to adopt the same method as the Kereh tribe against Naiman, and through the method of division, disintegration, and regrouping, he completely incorporated the Naiban tribe into the Mongol tribe, and became an important force in the future war for the Mongol tribe.
Thanks to the help of Gulbesi and Tata Tonga, the Mongol army's reception of the Naiban tribe went very smoothly. Normally, the work was done by Tata Tonga, but for those tribes who were still resistant to the Mongol army, and even intended to fight the Mongol army to the death, Gulbes personally intervened, unleashed her strong hand, or forced or induced, and succeeded in persuading them to give up resistance. Here Temujin saw another side of Gulbes's docile attitude.
However, what worried Temujin the most was the Naiban prince Qu Chulu, who fled to the Western Liao, and Zamuhe, who fled to the Tengjisihai region. Bolshu and Chi Laowen, who were responsible for chasing Qu out of the law, returned to Altai Mountain empty-handed, and told Temujin that Qu out of the law was accepted by Hara Khitan, which made Temujin worry a lot, and Hara Khitan was a big country in the Western Regions, and if he lent Qu out of the law to his men and horses, let him counterattack, it would be barbaric, and he should not be underestimated.
Guerbesi and Tata Tonga disagreed with this, saying that they were all familiar with Naiman's internal affairs, although Qu Qu Lu was brave and good at fighting, but he was short-tempered, proud and frivolous, and very young, so his prestige in Naiban was not high, and Juer Khan Zhiluji of Hara Khitan was just a mediocre person, even if he accepted Qu Qu Lu, he might not lend him troops to counterattack Naiman.
When Temujin heard this, he was relieved. And at this moment, Zhebei, Kublai Lai, and the master also returned to Altai Mountain, bringing good news and capturing Zamuhe.
It turned out that Zhebe, Kublai and Zhu'er led 10,000 horses and horses to pursue the defeated army of Zamuhe and Dehei Toa and others. After three days and three nights of pursuit, they crossed the Tangyu Ridge and finally pursued the men and horses of Zamuhe in front of the Yenisha River.
In fact, at this time, there were still 14,500 men and horses under the subordinates of Zamuhe, Dehei Toa and others, and the troops were still in the Mongolian army, but the morale of the whole army was low, and they had no intention of fighting the Mongolian army at all. The Mongol army was highly motivated, and with only one charge, the coalition army of Zamuhe was defeated, and Zamuhe, Deheita and others could not be contained, and countless coalition troops were driven into the Yenisha River and drowned, and the others scattered and fled along the west bank of the Yenisha River. In the melee, Tohi was killed by an arrow from Jebel, and his two sons also died in the chaos. Only Zamuhe broke out of the siege with more than 100 men, fled north along the Yenysha River, and hid in the Siberian taiga forest area.
Jebe immediately divided half of his army, and Kublai collected the defeated army along the Yenisa River, and he and his master led 5,000 men and horses to continue the pursuit of Zamuhe. After another day and a night of pursuit, because of the dense forest, Zamuhe finally escaped. However, Jebe was not reconciled to the quarrel with his master, so he divided the 5,000 men and horses into ten groups and scattered to search for Zamuhe.
It's just that this forest is too big, and Zamuhe is very alert, and the two sides have been in circles in the forest for several days, and they almost chased Zamuhe several times, but in the end they let him escape. Just when Jebe and the others were anxious that they could not find Zamuhe, five people appeared in front of the Mongol army with Zamuhe.
It turned out that after a few days of escaping, there were only five followers left with Zamuhe's side. Moreover, the dry food he carried with him was also exhausted, and he had to shoot wild deer and yellow sheep to satisfy his hunger.
On this day, several people happened to hit a wild sheep, so they immediately peeled and deboned it, made a stone frame fire, and barbecued it to satisfy their hunger. Of course, this kind of servant thing, Zamuhe will not do it himself, and still sit by the side as before, but after the mutton is roasted, he is the first to get the roast mutton, which is the best part as usual, and eats it in large gulps. As usual, the others waited for him to finish before they could eat the rest of the food.
The other five people couldn't help but be angry when they saw that Zamuhe had arrived at this time and put on the shelf of Guer Khan at sunset, so they took advantage of the fact that Zamuhe was eating mutton, and the five of them gathered together to discuss and decided to catch Zamuhe and present it to the Mongolian army for reward.
The unexpected gain also made Jebe and the others very happy, so they took Zamuhe, and rushed back to Altaishan with five of his captives and more than 3,000 other captives to meet Temujin.
When Temujin heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately gathered the Mongol generals in the palace of Tayang Khan, as well as Yang Yan, Zhao Yueru, Tata Tong'a and others, accompanied by Yonggul Besi, and took Zamuhe and the five servants who had captured him with him.
I saw that although Zamuhe was tied up with five flowers and his appearance was very embarrassed, he still held his head high and looked calm. When he saw Temujin, he said in a loud voice: "Temujin replied, the black crow actually catches waterfowl and birds, and the untouchables dare to bind their khan." What do you think of this, my wise answer? The dumb birds openly grabbed the wild ducks, and the servants besieged their masters with deception. My wise A, what do you say? ”
His voice was still loud and powerful. Although he was defeated and captured, not only was his face calm, without a trace of fear, but he still showed the posture of a monarch who fought against Temujin, and his bearing was so graceful that the Mongol generals had to feel sincere admiration from the bottom of their hearts. Even Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru couldn't help but praise, such an opponent, you can hate him, but you must not underestimate him.
Temujin immediately said: "Those who buy the glory seeker cannot be trusted, let alone forgiven!" Such unfaithful and unrighteous people should be exterminated along with their children and grandchildren. ”
As he spoke, Temujin waved his hand, and the guards on both sides rushed to the ground, and they knocked five men to the ground, and in the palace, in front of Zamuhe, they cut off their heads.
Seeing the fate of the betrayer, Zamuhe's face showed a satisfied smile. He nodded slightly to Temujin and said, "Thank you, my answer." ”
When the guards dragged away the corpse of Wuju, Temujin and Zamuhe looked at each other, Temujin remembered that in the past, the two played together in the ice, Zamuhe sent troops to help him rescue Polti, and after the two joined the camp, they herded falcons together, and scenes emerged in my mind. sighed, and couldn't help but feel a trace of sourness in his heart. Suddenly he came forward, personally untied his body, and then said to the Mongolian generals: "I and Zamuhean promise to talk about the past, all of you will wait outside the palace, and you will not be allowed to enter without my order." He saluted Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru again, and said, "Concubine, princess, I'm really sorry." ”
Yang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Don't sweat and get together with Anda." He returned the salute and left with Zhao Yueru.
Although the other Mongolian generals were not at ease to let Temujin and Zamu get along with each other, looking at Tie Yuzhen's expression, they also knew that this order would never dare to disobey, so they all hesitated for a moment, and walked out of the palace one after another. Although Gulbes stayed at the end, he saw that all the generals had left, and Temujin did not say a word, and finally left the palace.
After everyone had left, Temujin said to Zamuhe: "A, let's sit down and speak." ”
Sitting cross-legged on the carpet, Temujin brought a pot of mare's milk wine and two wine bowls, sat opposite Zamuhe, poured a bowl of wine for Zamuhe, and then poured a bowl for himself, and said, "Answer, you and I used to be intimate, like two wheels in a cart, inseparable from each other. I have always carried the cypress arrowhead you gave me back then, and I still remember the day when we got married again. Even though you left me at the beginning, I still see you as my answer. ”
As he spoke, Temujin picked up the wine bowl, touched the two bowls, and both of them drank it all, and Zamu laughed and said, "When we were doing Anda, we ate at the same table and slept in the same bed, and I never forgot what I said. It is only because someone is sowing discord that we turn against each other. Now that I think of the words I had back then, I feel that I don't have the face to see you again. Now you still treat me as an answer, and I don't have the face to face you. ”
Temujin put a bowl of wine into Za Xuan and said: "It was you who sent troops back then, and I was able to recapture my wife, and when I was fighting with Tayang Khan, it was you who frightened Tayang Khan with your words and allowed me to win the battle, and I will not forget these kindnesses." Now that we are together again, let the past pass, and now that the grassland is unified, my next goal is to take revenge on the Jin country, and I hope you can help me. We continue to be partners and take care of each other. ”
Zamuhe drank the wine and laughed with some sarcasm: "When we were Anda, I was the first to drive you away, and now that the grassland is unified with the scriptures, and all the departments of the grassland surrender to you, what is the point of me and you being partners again." At this time, what's the use of talking about the love of the year? Keeping me is like lice in your clothes and thorns in your bottom, but it makes you restless during the day and unstable at night. ”
He poured himself another bowl of wine, drank it dry, and said angrily: "My An, you are a hero, I am also a hero, although the grassland is vast, it can only accommodate one hero." But you have a wise and wise mother, a wise and capable wife, a brave and warlike brother, and you have heroes like the Four Heroes and Four Dogs by your side as companions. And I, who lost my parents since I was a child, have no brothers, and have no confidant friends, you are ahead of me everywhere. This is the arrangement of the Immortal Heaven, so it was the Immortal Heaven that arranged for you to defeat me. Alright, Ann, please don't hesitate any longer. I'm tired and want to rest. The grasslands have been in chaos for too long, and they need to rest. But for the sake of our fellow Mongols, grant me a bloodless death, and bury me on a high slope after death. My soul will protect your family from the eternal prosperity of your family, and your children and grandchildren will benefit from it! For the sake of Mongolia's future, please give me a death as soon as possible! ”
Temujin was gloomy for a long time before he said, "My answer, although you are my enemy, you have never harmed my life. You are my earliest friend, but also my first teacher, how I hope you can survive and work with me to create a new future for Mongolia. But you are tired of the world and want to return to the bosom of immortality. I will obey your wishes, grant you to die without bloodshed, and bury you in the place where we played together as children. ”
When he had finished speaking, Temujin got up and fell to his knees and bowed deeply to Zamuhe. Zamuhe's face smiled slightly, and at the same time he got up and knelt down, bowed to him, and then got up awe-inspiringly and strode out of the palace.
Behind him, Temujin stopped and stared, silently reciting in his heart: "Farewell, Zamuhe! Farewell, my A! ”
