Chapter 1026: Changed My Mind
Chapter 1026 changed my mind
Koktai Mondo didn't hold back his smile, squinting his eyes defiantly as he watched as Gai Yu approached from a distance. For a whole afternoon, the Montenegrin army mobilized a team of 10,000 people to storm the county seat of Ping'an, leaving more than 900 corpses outside the city wall, but not one of them climbed the city wall.
For such a performance of the Montenegrin Army, Don't be naturally happy. The people of the Black Mountain Army were not Mengyuan people in the first place, and no matter how much they died, they would not feel a pity for Duobei, on the contrary, the more they died, the happier they became. It was also at this time that Dobe suddenly understood the intention of the Great Khan Meng Ge to agree with the Montenegrin army to attack the city.
At the beginning of the attack, the resistance of the Han people was bound to be strong, and the period when the Han people's resistance was strongest was handed over to the Montenegrin army to attack, so as to consume the fighting spirit of the Han people and the strength of the Montenegrin army, killing two birds with one stone. Duo Bei immediately thought that after the Montenegrin army could not take Ping'an County for a long time, the Great Khan would be able to justifiably withdraw the Montenegrin army and attack by wolf cavalry instead. At that time, the number of Han defenders had been greatly reduced, and the fighting spirit was almost exhausted.
He had to admire the wisdom of the Great Khan in his heart, on the surface, it seemed that the Great Han had made a compromise with Gai Yu, but in fact, it was Gai Yu who suffered a secret loss.
"The invincible General Gai Yu, has he already taken Ping'an County?"
Koktai Mondo said with a smile: "I have already ordered my personal soldiers to pack my bags, and I can eat in Ping'an County tonight, right?" In the morning, you taught me a reason, at least the Han people's houses are more comfortable than tents, and at least there are fewer mosquitoes and flies at night. ”
Gai Yu glanced at him and walked past him without saying a word.
He was accompanied by two personal soldiers, one of whom was carrying a cloth bag in his hand, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was loading. The other glanced at Duobei with a cold look in his eyes, as if he was hiding a knife. Don't be angry at all at this performance, but laugh at all.
Walking outside Meng Ge's big tent, Gai Yu begged to enter, and Meng Ge's voice came from inside, and then two royal court guards opened the curtain of the big tent from the inside, and Gai Yu stepped in.
"Your Majesty's attack is unfavorable, please punish the Great Khan."
Gai Yu knelt down on one knee, put his right arm on his chest and hung his head.
"Hurry up."
Meng Ge, who was sitting on the felt carpet and eating finger meat, hurriedly waved his hand: "It's just an attack, it's nothing if you can't take Ping'an County today, the Han people are not the two-legged sheep that the herdsmen often mention, they also have blood." I saw in today's battle, the soldiers of the Montenegrin Army are all warriors, and they have been attacking forward. ”
Gai Yu stood up, took the bag from his soldier's hand and poured it out, and a bloody human head grunted out at once, rolling all the way to Mönggo's feet.
"This is the commander who commanded the attack today, and he deserves to be punished for his unfavorable combat."
Gai Yu said.
Meng Ge frowned slightly and glanced at the human head. The bloody head was disgusting as if it were provocative.
"Bold!"
Duo Bei, who came in after Gai Yu, immediately snorted angrily, and pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist with a brush: "In front of the Great Khan, you dare to be so rude!" ”
Gai Yu glanced back at him and snorted from his nose: "I don't know that this is rude to the Great Khan, and in my tribe the heads of the losers are sometimes shaved off their fur and only the skull is used as a wine glass. This is a kind of respect for the dedicated, and it is also a kind of forgiveness for the deceased. If I offend the Great Khan, please forgive the Great Khan. ”
Meng Ge was silent for a while, then waved his hand and motioned for the royal court guards to put away the knife: "Sew up this human head and corpse, and bury it with the ceremony that our Mengyuan people respect for warriors." Cover pardon...... I don't know your clan either, but I'm going to tell you that this subordinate of yours has done nothing wrong, he hasn't slackened off or stopped attacking, and if I were you, I'd give him another chance to prove himself. ”
He sat down and glanced at Gai Yu: "It doesn't have to be a winner to be a warrior, as long as you have faith and courage, you are worthy of respect in my opinion." ”
Gai Yu's face changed, and he knew that he had lost this time. If the news of the Great Khan's burial of his subordinates spreads, he is afraid that some of his subordinates will immediately have some unfavorable remarks against him.
"Xie Khan's forgiveness for him."
Gai Yu walked over, picked up the human head and handed it to his own soldiers: "Go, let the shaman sew up the human head and bury it in the sky." ”
The so-called sky burial is to leave the body in the wild and let the beasts and eagles devour the body. The tribes of Gai Amnesty had always had the custom of not burying corpses in the ground, which they considered disrespectful to the earth and would anger the gods. And the celestial burial, in their opinion, is the holies. After the corpse of the deceased is devoured by wild beasts, the soul is carried up by the eagle vulture and returns to heaven.
But even in his clan, the celestial burial was held in a specific place. The body of the deceased is placed on horseback and galloped along a specific road, and when the body jolts down, that place is where he returns. This is the Central Plains, and there are not so many prairie eagles.
Unlike the Gai pardon tribes, the Mengyuan people believed that cremation was the purest way for people to leave. The corpses burned by the fire took away the sins of people, and only the pure souls were left to go to the realm of Elysium. This is due to the influence of Buddhism, because people who die in Buddhism are cremated. As for the Buddhist sect, why would they always use cremation to dispose of corpses...... Maybe it has something to do with the mysterious "he" on the snowy mountain.
"Let him be overtaken by holy fire."
The curtain outside was lifted again, and a young man walked in slowly: "Burn away his sinful karma with fire, and fire will bring him to bliss." ”
"Not necessarily"
Gai Yu shook his head: "He is my clansman. ”
"He is my subject."
Meng Ge's squinting eyes suddenly opened, and a terrifying majesty immediately permeated them. Gai Yu's face changed slightly, and after being silent for a while, he nodded: "Then do it according to the will of the Great Khan." ”
……
……
"It's already here, why hasn't Mr. Nine shown up yet?"
Meng Ge glanced at Dazi and continued to eat the meat in front of him. The cooks who cook for him can make lamb in nine flavors and make roasted naan golden and crispy. In the royal court, the mutton he roasted with his own hands was often snatched up. He can make forty-eight different dishes with one sheep.
Smelling the smell of meat, there seems to be nothing uncomfortable about Da Freedom. Buddhism does not ban eating meat, but it is forbidden to kill. However, this ban on killing is just a joke, from the establishment of Buddhism to the present more than 1,000 years of history, the people who died in the hands of Buddhism spread out the corpses, just afraid that they could spread from the Mengyuan royal court to the Great Snow Mountain.
In the Western Regions, no religion other than Buddhism is allowed. At the beginning, Sang Sasa, the national teacher of the Mengyuan royal court, founded the Yellow Sect, but the Yellow Sect also pursued the things of Buddhism, which was called a branch of Buddhism. The Yellow Sect was founded by Meng Ge at the behest of Sang Sasa, aiming to gather some folk practitioners in the Western Regions to prepare for the war with Buddhism.
It's just that the Yellow Sect, which has just been created, is simply incomparable with the Buddhist Sect. Since Meng Ge went to the Great Snow Mountain Dalun Temple, saw that picture and listened to "him" instructions, he had already revoked the Yellow Sect.
"That Mr. Nine may not be reliable."
Da Zizi looked at the fragrant cooked meat on the plate, and his Adam's apple slowly moved. Meng Ge pushed the plate to him, and he didn't refuse politely, pinching the meat and stuffing a small piece of it into his mouth.
Then he returned the plate to Möngke: "Just one piece, I can't quit my greed, but I have to control my greed." ”
Möngke shook his head, seemingly unimpressed.
"I'm already a lot worse, that Moon Shadow Hall was a prominent sect in the Central Plains more than two hundred years ago, but it has long been destroyed by other rivers and lakes. Even if he has 200 years of precipitation, how much power does he have now? You say that Mr. Nine is amazing, where is he amazing? ”
Möngke asked.
"It's because I don't know where his greatness is, it's terrible, it's amazing, that's why he's really amazing."
Da Zizi's answer was a little awkward, more like a nonsense, but his answer was very serious.
"Well, even if he's a great man, where are the others? After taking the county seat of Ping'an, we had to cross the Yishui, and there were not enough boats, so my soldiers had to cut down trees and build bridges at risk. said that someone would answer in Yishui, but I didn't see it. If no one has answered after arriving at the Spiritual Gate, then I think you, as a representative of the Buddhist sect, should have expressed something. ”
Möngke said.
"Yes, if the spiritual gate is not open, I will kill him."
Da Zizi said slowly.
"If you think you can kill Mr. Nine, then you can try."
The voice rang out from outside the tent, close at hand. Da Zizi's face changed, and the next second he had swept outside the tent. And Meng Ge's hand holding a piece of meat stopped in mid-air, a little stiff. You must know that there is no shortage of masters in this big camp of Lu Dao, and those four great freedoms are all here. There are also several old monks of the Buddhist Sect, as well as the personal guards around Meng Yuan Khan, but the person who spoke appeared outside the big tent so unknowingly.
"Who are you?"
Da Zizi stood at the door and asked.
A moment later, the other three Da Zi also swept over, trapping the man in the middle.
"You can call me Mr. Eight."
The person who came was an old man, and he seemed to be very surprised by the four of them touching the same big freedom, but he didn't show any fear, and his eyes looked at the big freedom as if he was looking at a few monsters.
"I was just ordered by Mr. Nine to tell you something, and I happened to hear you talking about Mr. Nine. But it seems to me that what you just said is just a joke, because there are not many people in this world who can kill Mr. Nine, and none of you have here. ”
"What did he tell you to say."
Da Zi asked coldly, and did not continue the previous topic.
"Mr. Jiu asked me to tell you, if you don't take Ping'an County and cross Yishui as soon as possible, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the Lingmen Pass. Fang Xie had returned to the Black Flag Army, and had divided his troops to march in the direction of Lingmen Pass. Even though the Lingmen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, after all, the number of defenders is limited, and if you delay like this any longer, you will be blocked by the Black Flag Army outside the Lingmen Pass. ”
"Where's the ferry I want?"
Meng Ge came out of it and looked at the old man in the moon-white shirt and asked.
"Ferry?"
Mr. Eight couldn't help laughing: "I'm not an immortal, and I won't conjure up a ferry for you." Could it be that you Mengyuan people only walk on horseback? ”
"At the beginning, your Mr. Nine agreed, and he was ready to get off the boat at the ferry in Ping'an County."
Da Zizi said coldly.
"Can't Mr. Nine speak?"
Mr. Eight said with a smile: "Anyone can talk without words, but weak people can be killed if they don't talk without talking, and strong people can't do anything even if they don't talk without talking." Hurry up and attack Ping'an County, let the 8,000 people bravely block you, and it will be difficult for hundreds of thousands of troops to advance an inch...... Tut-tut...... No wonder Meng Yuan is not as good as a day. ”
Mr. Eight glanced at Meng Ge: "Don't be angry, I'll tell you one more thing that Mr. Nine doesn't talk about, so that you will be happy...... Gao Kaitai is unreliable, and Mr. Nine no longer intends to help Gao Kaitai become the emperor of the Central Plains. He intends to help you from now on...... The Great Khan of the Mongol Yuan extended his territory all the way to the seashore in the east. ”
