117 Fall Short (II)
Therefore, the two sides killed for a few rounds, and the Mongolian army was a little unable to parry, but fortunately, there were two generals, Mu Huali and Chi Lao Wen, and everyone knew that if they were defeated, then the parents, wives, and children who stayed in the camp would die tragically under the iron hooves of the Jin army, so they knew that they were invincible. Please be sure.
After less than half an hour of fierce fighting, the Mongol army was defeated by the Jin army, losing more than half of it, and could only retreat in defeat. Although Mu Huali and Chi Lao Wen supervised the battle with all their might, they could not stop the defeat of the Mongol army.
Wan Yan Changyi was also greatly relieved to see that the combat effectiveness of this Mongolian army was nothing more than that. I was also thinking in my heart that even if they were the vanguard of the reinforcements, they could attack the camp after defeating this team. At least before the Mongol army returned to help, it caused some losses to the camp, and this trip was not in vain.
Therefore, just when Wanyan Changzhi was about to give an order to lead the army to attack the Mongolian camp, he saw dust and smoke rising in the east, sand and gravel flying, and another Mongolian army was killed. It was Borshu and the five thousand men led by Borhu.
In fact, the team led by Borshu and Borhu was also exhausted, and the situation was no better than that of Mu Huali and Chi Laowen. If the Jin army continues to attack, it will not take half an hour to defeat this Mongol army. It's just that at this time, Wanyan Changzhi can't figure out how many more men and horses from the Mongolian army will rush back? How far the Mongol army was from here, so after thinking twice, he did not dare to continue to risk fighting this Mongol army again, and immediately led the army to retreat while the Jin army still had the strength to spare.
Seeing the withdrawal of the Jin army, Borshu and Borhu did not dare to pursue, and after joining forces with Mu Huali and Chilao Wen, they immediately rushed back to the camp, and at the same time sent someone to inform Temujin that there was no accident in the camp.
Two days later, Temujin also led the Mongol army back to the fishing beach. Because the Mongol army took the initiative to retreat, many of the arrangements of the Jin army had not yet had time to be implemented, and the Mongol army threw more than 30,000 people of the Jin country to the Jin army, so the Jin army holding the camp could not pursue, so the Mongol army could only withdraw safely.
However, although the Mongol army successfully withdrew to the fishing sea, at this time the Mongol army dismantled nearly 8,000 troops, and the property and population that had been plundered in the Jin Kingdom were all discarded. It was also swept away by the Jin army in two small camps, and nearly 10,000 old and young women and children and tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and livestock were killed, and the loss was not small.
After returning to the camp, Temujin rested for a while, and immediately summoned Yelu Chucai and asked him for advice.

Although the exhibition of the war did not follow the direction expected by Wan Yan Changzhi, he did not panic because of this. Because when formulating this plan, Wanyan Changzhi did not only think about one consequence, but considered a variety of changes, and after being detected by the Mongol army, returning to the reinforcement camp was also one of the changes.
In response to this situation, Wanyan Changzhi also had a countermeasure, and chose another route to turn back to the Jin country, that is, from the fishing area to the east, along the Hele River and then to the southeast, after arriving at the Jinshan (that is, the Great Xing'an Mountains), you can not only cross the Jinshan and directly enter the territory of the Jin country, but also along the mountain to the southwest, you can reach the lower reaches of the Ulu Gray River, and then meet with the Jin army in the upper reaches of the Ulu Gray River and return to Dajin
Although this route made a large circle, it was very hidden, and there were many roads to choose from, which also made it impossible for the Mongols to pursue. In addition, in the Hele River and Jinshan areas, fishing and hunting can be relied on to meet food needs. It's also a safe route.
Therefore, Wanyan Changzhi immediately decided to take this alternative route. The Jin army also grabbed nearly a thousand horses when sweeping two small Mongolian camps, and on the way back to the Jin country, it also encountered several small camps, and the Jin army attacked two of them, killing thousands of herdsmen, and robbing hundreds of horses and some grain, so they plundered along the road, and killed horses to satisfy hunger, and after a long journey of more than ten days, they finally arrived at the upper reaches of the Ulu Gray River, and joined the Jin army stationed there.
After joining forces, before Wan Yan Changzhi could sit down, Hu Le Ming and Shu Lu came to complain, saying that after the Mongolian army withdrew, Fu San Zhongyi and Yang Woyan deliberately did not move, trying to kill Wan Yan Changzhi and other people. Subsequently, Fusan Zhongyi and Yang Woyan also came to ask Wan Yan Changzhi for guilt.
It turned out that when the Youmeng army withdrew, all the captured Jin people were thrown to the Jin army. The generals who stayed behind in the camp also disputed what to do with these people. Hu Le Shu and Shu Lu were concerned about the safety of Wan Yan Changzhi, so they advocated leaving these people alone and letting them return to the Jin Kingdom on their own, and they should immediately go to pick up Wan Yan Changzhi.
However, Fusan Zhongyi and Yang Woyan believed that Wanyan Changzhi's attack on the Mongolian camp in Yuerhai was too variable, and it was impossible to respond at all. Moreover, Wan Yan Changzhi is proficient in the art of war, and he is fully prepared before the expedition, and should be able to return from Mongolia safely. And now these people are all the people of the Jin Kingdom, how can they sit idly by. There are still more than 280 miles away from the nearest pass, Linhuang Mansion, and the people have no food and clothing, if there is no help from the army, let the people return on their own, I am afraid that the vast majority of people will die on the way. Therefore, they advocated providing the people with the necessary clothing and food, and sending troops to escort the people back to Taikin.
Hu Le Ming and Shu Lu mistakenly thought that Servant San Zhongyi and Yang Woyan deliberately did not move, and ignored the safety of Wanyan Changzhi. So he got into an argument with them.
Although before Wanyan Changzhi left, he appointed Fusan Zhongyi and Yang Woyan as the main generals of the Jin army left behind, and the movements of the whole army were dispatched by them, but Hu Leming and Shulu were different from ordinary generals, they were not only old subordinates who followed him when they were in Wanyan Changzhi's house, but also had a friendship with Wanyan Changzhi. And the crime of intentionally killing the emperor is not small, so Fusan Zhongyi and Yang Woyan did not dare to use their power to forcibly make the two stubborn. In the end, several people discussed and decided to let Wan Yanting lead 10,000 infantry to escort the people back, and provide the people with certain clothes and food. The rest of the men and horses remained in place, waiting for Yan Changzhi to return.
After Yan Changzhi heard what had happened, he immediately got up in person, untied the ropes between Fusan Zhongyi and Yang Woyan, and helped the two of them up, and said: "Two Aiqing, you are doing it right, whoever achieves great things is not people-oriented." If we don't help them, who will they rely on? And we agreed in advance that we don't have to answer, so you're not wrong, go back and rest first. ”
When the two of them heard this, they were naturally very grateful in their hearts, and after thanking Yan Changzhi, they went back to their accounts. In the big tent, only Wanyan Changzhi, Hu Leming, and Shulu were left. And the expressions on the faces of Le Ming and Shu Lu were also very embarrassed.
After Yan Changzhi returned to the throne, both of them immediately knelt down, bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty, we ......."
Wan Yan Changzhi stared at the two of them for a while, and wanted to reprimand the two of them fiercely, but after thinking about it carefully, whether it was the current time and occasion, or the relationship with the two of them, it was not the time to teach them a lesson, so he finally suppressed the fire, and said with Yan Yuese: "Hu Leming, Shulu, you are the first people who followed me, it can be said that without your help, I would not have my status today, in terms of personal relations, we are all brothers and sisters for more than ten years, and we are not inferior to our own siblings." However, within a country, an army must be ordered and forbidden before it can be passed. I don't want to see you taking this kind of restraint of ours as a privilege, a privilege to disobey the orders of your superiors, to suspect other ministers without warranty. ”
When the two of them heard this, they were even more ashamed and ashamed, and even their ears were red, and they didn't dare to look at Wan Yan Changzhi's gaze, but said, "Your Majesty, we were wrong." ”
Wan Yan Changzhi nodded and said, "This time it will end here, and I will not continue to pursue it." I hope that the two of you will learn from this in the future and not make the same mistakes again. Well, go back and rest. Tomorrow we will leave for the army. ”
Although the two of them came out of the big tent, one of them still sat on the throne alone. For a long time, he has been mostly conquests, marching and fighting, fighting hidden ambushes are all familiar with the road, but he has not had much contact with the affairs of the imperial court, but if he wants to govern such a large country well, there are still many things to learn.
Today's life is a good example, Hu Le Ming and Shu Lu used to be their own subordinates, and they were also their own disciples who had been in the same family for more than ten years, and they naturally obeyed their own orders in an orderly manner. But now that he is the emperor, it is impossible to give orders directly to them as he did in the past. But in front of others, even if they are their current direct superiors, they have a sense of superiority because of their special close relationship with them. Once their opinions conflict with their superiors, this sense of superiority can make them think that they can clean up with their superiors and can sue in front of Wanyan Changzhi.
At the beginning, there were more than 30 disciples of the three generations of Huining Temple who followed Yan Changzhi, and after years of fighting, some people were killed, and now there are 23 people. Although there are only two people today, Hu Le Ming and Shu Lu, this is just a sign of it, and there are definitely other people who have this kind of thought. This kind of sign must be stopped as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be good for yourself and Daikin.
However, how to stop it, we must think of a perfect solution, after all, they are the most loyal to themselves, and they are also the people they can trust the most, so it is not easy to not let them feel cold, but also to curb their superior heart.
At this time, Wanyan Changzhi deeply felt that it was not easy to be an emperor if he wanted to be a good emperor.
