The 14th Prince's Northern Tour (3)
Wanyan Yungong also had a bit of courage in the end, and he didn't want to retreat in his heart, and when he saw Temujin asking for battle, he also held the mentality that he might as well give it a try, and hurriedly said: "Okay, Temujin Khan, I invite you to fight and defeat the Tatar army." ”
So Temujin gave an order, with Borshu and Bolhu on the left, Mu Huali and Chilaowen on the right, and he and Heqier and Chiwen Temugbelgutai as the middle road, led 5,000 Mongol troops to rush the hillside and kill the Tatar army.
However, although Wanyan Yungong let Temujin fight, he didn't have much hope for him, and he was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Shi Ju, Wanyan Baisa, Jie Pu A, Zhang Wenshou and others were even more disdainful of the Mongol army, because they had already been frightened by the ferocity of the Tatar army, and seeing that Temujin's men were only 5,000 Mongol troops, how much effect could they make, they just hoped that they could block the enemy army for a while longer, so that they could have the strength to escape farther.
But they soon found that after the Mongol army had descended the mountain, it had broken into the Tatar army. The Tatar army, which was extremely brave in the battle against the Jin army just now, was like a flock of sheep against a tiger in front of the Mongolian army, and was killed by the Mongolian army on its back, unable to resist at all, and was killed by the Mongolian army in a blink of an eye.
It turned out that these 5,000 Mongol troops were still the strongest personal guards under Tie Shuzhen, the Cowardly Xue Army. Although the number is small, they are all elite soldiers in the Mongolian army, everyone can block a hundred, and they are a new force, rushing down from the hillside, condescending, like a bamboo. And the Tatar army tore apart for more than half an hour, and most of its physical strength and morale were consumed, where they blocked the fierce onslaught of the Mongol army. Although Tarkutai tried his best to command his men and horses to resist, he could not parry it and was killed by the Mongol army and retreated.
However, Temujin also knew that although the Mongol army was brave, after all, the number of people was too small, and it may not be advantageous to fight for a long time. Therefore, he concentrated his forces, aimed at the men and horses where Talhutai was, and rushed away.
Borshu, Borhu, Mu Huali, and Chi Lao Wen were the first to take the lead, Bol bent his bow and arrows, and shot two generals around Tarhutai in a row, Chi Lao Wen waved a big knife, invincible, killed the generals, and cut the banner of the Tatar army. Mu Huali and Borhu did not show weakness, while killing the enemy army, while directing the Mongol army to constantly besiege (Sesetar Hutai.
Although Tarhutai was unwilling, he saw that he was about to be surrounded by the Mongol army, and he had to pull his horse and flee. When Temujin saw this, he took the opportunity to command the Mongol army to pursue closely behind, forcing Ta'er Hutai to urge his horse to go quickly, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath. When the other soldiers of the Tatar army saw that their leader was defeated and fled, and the Mongol army was extremely fierce, they all lost their fighting spirit and fled one after another.
When they saw the defeat of the Tatar army, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, leaving Jiaguqi to lead the men and horses to protect Yan Yungong. He led the Jin army to chase down the Tatar army with the Mongol army. Seeing the defeat of the Tatar army, the remaining Jin army couldn't help but cheer, after all, it was worth celebrating to be able to defeat such a fierce enemy army.
And Jia Guqi couldn't help but be horrified in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the Mongolian army was so strong, and what army could Dajin and the Mongolian army compete with? In the past, when the Jurchens rose, there was a saying "the Jurchens are not more than 10,000, and they are invincible" to describe the Jurchens' good warfare, but now it seems that this sentence can be used on the Mongol army.
Wan Yan Yungong let out a sigh of relief, feeling that although he was a little frightened, this trip to the north was also a little exciting, much happier than in Zhongdu, and he couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, Wan Yan Bai Sa suddenly bowed to Wan Yan Yun on the horse, and said: "Your Highness really has a miraculous wit, and you will be defeated by Yidi, and your subordinates admire it so much!" ”
After hearing this, Yan Yungong couldn't help but be a little dazed, and said, "Bai Sa, what did you say?" ”
Wan Yan Baisa smiled and said: "Your Highness is stationed on the soil slope, and you will occupy the land first. Then I fought with Yidi with the army of my Dajin, exhausted its sharpness, and when the enemy was exhausted, I sent the Mongolian army to attack, condescendingly, like a bamboo, and defeated Yidi in one fell swoop. With such a wonderful use of soldiers, even if Sun Wu is resurrected and Wu Qi is reincarnated, it is not too late! ”
When the others heard this, they immediately came to their senses, and they hurriedly congratulated Wan Yan Yungong, and praised Wan Yan Yungong for a while, and they didn't know where they were, as if this battle was really won under their own command. When Tie Yuzhen came back from pursuing the Tatar army, he saw that everyone had praised Yan Yungong, and his heart was even more disdainful.
In this battle, more than 5,000 Tatar troops were killed and more than 3,000 were captured. More than 5,000 war horses were captured, and countless other swords, guns and instruments were captured. The Jin army also lost nearly 5,000 killed and more than 1,000 wounded. The Mongol army died less than 300 people.
At this time, it was getting late, and everyone was resting in the Mongolian army's big village. That night, Temujin sent a feast to entertain Yan Yungong and celebrate the victory of the battle.
After a tiring day, Yan Yungong was already hungry, although he was frightened, but he was also in a good mood, so he drank heartily, got drunk, and finally waited for a few Mongolian beauties to go back to the tent to rest.
When the feast had ended, Temujin returned to his tent, where all the generals gathered into his tent. Zha Ba'er Huo said: "Great Khan, just now Zha He dared not send someone to tell me that some time ago, Zamuhe left the Black Forest and went out for more than twenty days. Although I don't know where he went, I know that he went east. ”
Temujin nodded and muttered, "Go east." ”
Mu Huali also said: "I have interrogated several prisoners, and they all confirmed that Zamuhe had been to the Tatar station not long ago. The time and the dare not to say it are completely in line with the time. ”
In fact, after Wang Han learned the news of Yan Yungong's northern tour, he also prepared a tribute and planned to go to Huanzhou to see Yan Yungong. But Zamuhe suggested to Wang Han that he could take this opportunity to get rid of Wan Yan Yungong.
When the Tatar tribe was sent to Mongolia by Wanyan Changzhi and Wanyan Fushou, they were defeated by the two tribes of Kereh and Mongolia. Later, he joined the Red Bank Alliance, and was defeated by Temujin in the Battle of Koyitian, and the leader Taerhutai only led the people to flee to the mountains around the Xing'an Mountains to take refuge. At present, there are four tribes in the Tatar tribe that still have a certain strength, namely the Cha'an tribe, the Alechi tribe, the Duta Uti Tatar tribe, and the Aruha Tatar tribe.
It turned out that Zamuhe had always been in contact with the remnants of the Tatar tribe, so he suggested to Wang Han that he could instigate the remnants of the Tatar tribe to rob and kill Yan Yungong. Because Huanzhou is connected with the Mongolian Ministry, if Yan Yungong can be killed, then no matter what, Temujin will not be able to escape from it. Perhaps the Dajin court, in a fit of rage, would send troops to attack Temujin. After Wang Han heard this, he was still a little hesitant, but Sang Bi praised Zamuhe, persuaded him again and again, and finally said that Wang Han was moved, and Zamuhe personally rushed to Xing'an Ridge to meet Ta'er Hutai, the leader of Tatar.
Ta'er Kutai also knew that the Tatar and the Mongolian grudge was too deep to be resolved, and as the power of Tie Shuzhen became bigger and bigger, sooner or later they would find the Xing'an Mountains, and at that time, the Tatar would be in danger of extinction. Therefore, this opportunity should be given a try anyway. Moreover, Ta'er Hutai didn't have enough strength on his own, so he found the remnants of Tai Yichi and Mierqi with Zamu, and said that they would send troops together. At the same time, Wang Han pulled out 10,000 men and horses of the Kelie Division, so that they concentrated nearly 30,000 troops and killed Yan Yungong. He didn't want to be defeated by Temujin's 5,000 men.
Tie Yuzhen and several of his generals analyzed the current clues one by one, and immediately came to a similar conclusion.
Borshu said: "The matter is very clear from the scriptures, it was Wang Han and Zamuhe who instigated the Tatars to attack us, if we kill Yan Yungong, Jin Guo will definitely ask us, no wonder the Tatars came so coincidentally, this plan is so poisonous." Count us and the Tatars into it. ”
Bor laughed and said, "So what, haven't the Tatars been beaten to the ground by us?" However, I don't think the Tatars can stay any longer, and when we go back, we must go to conquer them, completely exterminate the Tatars, and never suffer in the future. ”
At this time, Mu Huali said: "Don't you think this is a good opportunity to provoke Wang Han and Jin Guoguan?" Wang Han and Zamuhe originally wanted to use the Jin people to get rid of us, but now we can also use it in reverse, and tell Wanyan Yungong about this matter, which will definitely provoke the Jin State and let the Jin State send troops to attack Wang Han. ”
But the firefighter said: "I heard that last year, the Jin State sent troops to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, but they failed and returned. The national strength has suffered greatly from the loss, and now I am afraid that I will not be able to send troops to attack Wang Han. Maybe we will send troops to attack Wang Han. ”
Mu Huali smiled: "That's not bad, in this way, we can attack Wang Han with a clear and honest attitude." At the same time, we can ask the Jin State for help, for example, we can ask the Jin State to give an order, and the Wang Gu Department will obey our dispatch and attack Wang Han together. ”
The Wanggu tribe was originally also a branch of the grassland people, but it had long been attached to the Jin State. It is located in the west of the Northwest Road Zhaoji Division, bordering Kereh and Mongolia in the north, and the northeast of Western Xia in the west. If you can get the help of Wang Gubu, you will have a few more chances of defeating Wang Han.
When Temujin heard this, he laughed, patted Mu Huali on the shoulder, and said, "Mu Huali, every time you do not let me down, I think you can do this." Then he turned to the Zaba'er Fire Collector and said, "I also heard from some merchants that the Jin State sent troops to attack the Southern Song Dynasty last year, but what is the matter with the body, and what kind of country is the Southern Song Dynasty, do you know what the Zaba'er Fire Warrior is?" ”
Za Ba'er Huo said: "I don't know too much, I only know that the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin State are feuding enemies, and most of the land of the Jin Kingdom was occupied from the Southern Song Dynasty, but I don't know the situation of the body." ”
Temujin pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go to see Yan Yungong tomorrow, and you go with him to the Zhongdu Dynasty to meet the Emperor of Jin, and then try to inquire about the relationship between the Southern Song Dynasty and Jin." ”
When the other Mongolian generals heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, and Mu Huali was the first to react and said, "Great Khan, do you mean that we can unite with the Southern Song Dynasty to deal with the Jin State?" ”
Temujin said in a deep voice: "Don't forget that the real enemy of our Mongols is not the Tatars, Taiyichi and Milqi, but the Kingdom of Jin. And after we unify the steppe, the Jin State will not watch our Mongols become stronger. So Jin Guo is not only our next target for revenge, but also an opponent we need to guard against. But the strength of the cash country is too strong, and it is difficult to compete with the Jin country with the strength of our Mongolia alone. The enemy of our enemies may be our friends. ”
When the generals heard Temujin's words, they couldn't help but be convinced. The Great Khan really saw farther than anyone else. At this time, he said: "Brother Khan, some time ago, there was a caravan in my tribe, there were many people from the Western Regions, I heard that there were several people from the Western Regions from the Southern Song Dynasty, and they brought a lot of silk and porcelain from the Southern Song Dynasty, so I think it is better to ask them first." ”
Temujin was overjoyed and said, "Heqiu'er, you rush back first, try to keep that caravan, and wait for me to come back." Regarding the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty, we can inquire in many ways. ”
Sure enough, he was very dissatisfied with Wang Han, who had been delayed, and after hearing these news, Wanyan Yungong was even more angry, and he was about to lead the army to attack the Black Forest and crusade against Wang Han.
Jia Guqi was startled, he had been guarding Beiyi for a long time, and he knew Wang Han's history, and said: "Your Highness, Wang Han has dominated the grassland for more than 20 years, and now there are thousands of places and hundreds of thousands of herdsmen. Now we have only more than 30,000 horses, and when we go to attack the black forest, will we not hit a stone with an egg? Please take back your order. ”
Although Shi Ju didn't know much about the situation of the various parts of the steppe, he could also see from yesterday's battle that if it weren't for Temujin's 5,000 Mongol army, he was afraid that he would have been defeated long ago. What's more, Wanyan Yungong made a little mistake, and all of his accompanying officials were responsible, and he also persuaded: "Your Highness, no, it is enough to return to Huanzhou first, and then think about it in the long run." ”
Wan Yan Yungong said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, Wang Han's old man dares to harm this king, if you don't teach him a lesson, where is the face of my Dajin, if our troops are insufficient, we will transfer all the people and horses of the Northwest Road Edict Division, if it is not enough, then we will also transfer the people and horses nearby." This king must go to the black forest, catch that old man, and let out this evil breath. ”
At this time, Wan Yanbai said to the side: "Your Highness has been on patrol for a long time, and if you still stay in the north, I'm afraid the emperor will be unhappy." What's more, the conquest plan and the mobilization of military horses also require the resolution of the imperial court, how can His Royal Highness be arbitrary, according to the opinion of Wei Chen, it is better to return to Zhongdu first, tell the emperor everything that happened, and then ask the court to send troops, and then go to conquer Wang Han, at that time the prince can invite himself to be a general and personally lead the army to go out. ”
mentioned the emperor, Wanyan Yungong finally woke up a little, and realized that what he just said was really inappropriate, and after some hard persuasion from everyone, he finally decided to return to Zhongdu.
When Temujin saw that he was leaving, he couldn't ask for it, so he led the Mongol army to send Wanyan Yungong and his party to Huanzhou, and at the same time ordered the people who were in the fire to go to the Zhongdu to meet the Dajin Emperor with Wanyan Yungong.
