In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 375 Who is the most terrifying person in the world?

But of course Liu Run and Zheku didn't do it either.

Although there are many castles in Dongmian Prefecture, most of the population and horse breeding land are still concentrated on the side of the Song people.

The Mongolian army attacked Xixia several times, and a lot of Xixia's population was slaughtered. The rest were concentrated in Zhongxing Prefecture and several important Mazhou cities.

Many of the more than 400 castles and fortresses in the original Xixia are now empty, although most of them have been assigned to the Mongols and are completely useless.

And because the east was bordering the Song Dynasty, there were few people in the states in the east of Mongolia, and a large number of them were concentrated in the west.

But this is not the most important.

The most important thing is that Heishui City, the only important route from Mobei to the Hexi Corridor, is in the west and was blocked by the Song Army.

Then enter the Yellow River from the north and attack the most important fortress of Zhongxing Mansion, 'Keyi Gate', which is also within the scope of the Song army.

If divided according to east and west, the Song army can march into Mobei at any time in the future.

And if the Mongolian army wants to enter Xixia, Heishui City and Keyi Gate are two difficulties. With so many artillery pieces of the Song army, it will be many times more difficult to destroy Heishui City in the future than it was when they attacked Xixia.

This cut off the Mongolian army's future route to attack Xixia from the north.

When the Mongolian army attacked Xixia, they sent troops in two directions, one from the north. They first attacked Oluohai City, then went to Heishui City, and then entered Xixia.

The west side of the Second Route Army came from the Xiliao territory that is now Chagatai.

At present, Xiliao's troops are almost exhausted, and they are still being harassed by the Song army.

According to the current distribution of the Song army, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Mongolian army to invade Xixia in the future. They must occupy a bridgehead, namely Heishui City.

If Heishui City retreats, it can guard the key roads to prevent the Song army from entering Mobei. If it advances, it can attack the Song army at any time.

Therefore, Blackwater City cannot be lost, which is the bottom line of Wokuotai.

The two sides continued to argue for a long time with no result, and each refused to give in. Liu Run had no choice but to say that he would go back and report to Hehan.

The two left Meng Gong's house depressed.

Of course, both sides know that it is not a matter of failure in this negotiation. The two sides will definitely have to fight outside to achieve the purpose of peace through military means. Whoever wins the fight will have the final say.

The news here quickly spread to Oruohai City, and the Mongolian nobles stationed in the city were furious. The Song people were like lions.

Regardless of whether it is divided into east and west or north and south, Mongolia has lost Xixia.

But now Zhongxing Mansion is in the hands of the Song people, who regard Zhongxing Mansion as the central axis, and Mongolia has lost its main right to speak.

After hearing this, Chagatai said with a gloomy face: "As long as we capture the Song army in my territory and defeat them on the battlefield, we can have a good talk with them."

It turns out that they are now bent on catching Shader and other Song troops who entered the original Xiliao territory. If they can capture a few thousand Song troops, they can force the Song troops to renegotiate the distribution.

At the same time, the Mongolian army has been mobilized on a large scale. It is not a problem for their 10,000+ soldiers and horses to stay in Oluohai City, and long-term supply is also a problem.

Therefore, while sending 3 horses back to Xiliao, 5 horses were sent to Shaanxi.

The Song Dynasty was deploying a large number of troops from Shaanxi and other places, which was a good opportunity to attack the Song Dynasty's territory.

In the first year of Yuanzhen, while the Song army was negotiating with the Mongolian army, it began to fight for and start a war near Shaanxi.

The Mongolian army is trying to capture the Song army who entered Xiliao alive because Shader and Li Pingxia entered Xiliao with [-] troops around May and made an appointment to return to Shadel from Hamili in four months. state.

But after August, the Mongolian army was struggling with the Song army near Guazhou. Li Pingxia's troops returned to Shazhou first, and Shader has not returned yet with 1000 people.

The Mongolian army found that most of the Song army had left, and now only Shader and a thousand Song troops were still dancing in the territory. They were quite annoyed and were trying to think of ways to encircle and suppress this Song army.

In late December, when Liu Run and Zheku were still negotiating with Meng Gong, further west in the Chagatai territory, thousands of miles west of Alimari, the rumble of horse hooves was deafening, and soon the sound was deafening. The Song army appeared at a high place.

Shader stood in front with high spirits, waiting for most of them to stop slowly.

More than three months ago, he met with the last Song army to leave. The other party returned to the Song Dynasty from the direction of Tubo and gave him some troops.

He came in with a thousand horses and has been killing for nearly seven months from May to now. The casualties were not small, and he lost four men and horses.

Another Song army replenished him with 800 cavalry, and he took this [-] cavalry across the entire Western Liao territory and then headed west. Now he still has more than [-] cavalry.

Shader was going crazy and didn't want to go home.

There is no way, his hatred for Mongolia is engraved in his bones.

When the Mongolian army attacked Xixia, they massacred the city many times. Shader's tribe, many friends, brothers, and family members were all massacred by the Mongolian army.

Shader hated the Mongolian army more than the Song people. This time he entered the Xiliao territory. He was very supportive and was the first to sign up.

After he came in, he was even more ruthless than the Song Dynasty people, and almost killed everyone on sight.

From May to December now, he has killed many herdsmen outside in Chagatai territory or other places.

Now, as long as he is not in the city and dares to come out to guard, he will kill him ruthlessly.

Of course, the best period for grassland herding is from May to September, when there are more herdsmen outside the city. After October, the herdsmen were frightened by the killings and hid in various cities one after another. Shader's performance was Less and less.

But he was brave and willing to run. He kept running from east to west, and now he was three to four thousand miles outside the Chagatai territory, directly crossing the entire Afghans of later generations and entering the territories of other Mongolian kings.

"Not far ahead is Yulongjie Chicheng." At this time, a subordinate introduced to him: "It has been razed by the Mongolian army. General, looking at the ruins, it should be there."

At this time, even Zhao and Rui probably didn't know that Shader actually led the Song army thousands of miles across Afghanistan and reached the place where the Mongols once marched westward, Khwarazm Yulongjie Chicheng. nearby.

Yulongjie Chicheng belonged to Turkmenistan in later generations. It is located in the northwest of Turkmenistan and south of the Amu Darya River, adjacent to the border with Uzbekistan.

After the Mongolian army captured Yulongjie Chicheng, they dug up the Amu Darya River to divert water into the city and razed Yulongjie Chicheng to the ground, which shows how much they hate this place.

"Is this still Jaghatai's territory?" Shader asked his subordinates.

The subordinates were also confused. After all, they were not very clear about the territory of the Mongolian kings, but what was certain was that this was still Mongolian territory.

Shader pointed to a dense gathering place in the distance: "As long as it is the territory of the Mongols, let me kill them, hahaha."

The Song army suddenly cheered, and the cavalry rolled down like dark clouds.

Shader's current cavalry of more than 800 is mainly composed of Dangxiang people. There are also some Han and Sichuan chieftain soldiers and horses, as well as Tubo people, who can also be regarded as a joint force.

After everyone entered Xiliao with the Song Army, they were a little uncomfortable at first. Then from May to December, they spent most of the year sleeping outdoors. Although it was quite hard, many people found that it was quite refreshing.

No wonder the Mongols like the Western Expedition so much, and they often march thousands of miles to burn, kill and loot.

Now the Song Army has also tasted the sweetness. This kind of behavior of eating large pieces of meat, beheading with a big knife, and vigorously playing with the women of the enemy country is really enjoyable.

If Shader hadn't said anything about turning back, and if they hadn't had too few troops, they might have been able to go all the way west to Europe.

"Boom, boom" Following Shader's order, the Song army rushed out quickly and headed west.

From their height, they could see a large gathering place on the banks of the Amu Darya River not far away.

There is the original Yulongjiechi site. After Yulongjiechi was flooded by the Mongolian army, because it was the holy city of Khwarezm, residents gradually gathered here and lived by the water. Many buildings were built nearby. The new low-rise low-rise houses are now home to thousands of households.

Of course, this is also Mongolian territory, and it is the territory of Jochi. It is currently under the control of Batu's brother Orda. The people who come here to collect taxes are also Orda's people. After Batu becomes independent, it will be officially distributed to Orda. A, Orda later established the White Horde Khanate here.

After the Song army descended from the heights, they soon saw the ditch of the Amu Darya River, which was dug by the Mongolian army to divert water. It has now formed a small river channel about five or six meters wide, and there are still small boats moving on the river.

Seeing the Song army coming, some residents by the river stood up one after another, each with a look of horror on their face.

Because the Song army was wearing Mongolian clothes in front.

After Shader's people came in, they would take some clothes every time they killed the Mongolian army. Now they all have a set of Mongolian army clothes, and they wander around wearing the Mongolian army clothes.

These herdsmen thought the Mongolian army was coming again.

The Mongolian army is simply a devil here, and even the local children will turn pale and frightened when they hear it.

When Shader's men came a hundred steps closer, the people suddenly realized and suddenly knelt down one after another.

"嚅" Shadel was already preparing to fly over and behead him with a single blow.

Unexpectedly, everyone on the other side suddenly knelt down.

Then looking into the distance, at the residential area a hundred steps away from the river, many people began to kneel down.

Shader's face changed slightly, and then he remembered that Meng Ying had mentioned before that the Mongolian army had a devilish title here, and everyone was horrified when they heard it.

There was also an incident where the Mongolian army was able to capture hundreds of people. The Mongolian army asked them to tie themselves up, but no one dared to resist.

Such is the power of carnage.

The Mongolian army conquered everyone here with cruelty and butcher's knives.

"Huh, uh" Shader pulled the horse's rope tightly and waved to signal the whole army to stop.

The people by the river were lying on the ground, many of them trembling.

He looked at these poor people quietly, and couldn't help but think of his slaughtered tribesmen, and he hated the Mongols even more.

At this moment, several people ran out from the residential area.

"Let's go." Shader turned the horse's head and led most of them forward to meet him.

"Dear master, warriors of the great Mongol Empire that owns the ocean and the four directions, your slave Abra is here -" Several local people with cloth scarves on their heads knelt down in front of Shadr's horse's hooves and said something. Fluent in Mongolian.

The leader was probably in his 40s. After he finished saying this, he dared to raise his head carefully and glance at Shader.

The Mongols who came to collect taxes before were not Shadr, and they did not bring so many soldiers and horses. He was a little frightened and didn't know what was going on.

He thought carefully in his mind that the last tax seemed to be fine, and he even gave the tax collector some extra personal belongings.

If Li Xiaping were here, he probably wouldn't understand a word and would just draw his sword and kill him. But Shader happens to be proficient in Mongolian and also knows a little bit of Turkic, because the Xixia Kingdom also had business transactions with these places before, so he would know how to speak it, otherwise They will also bring troops in.

"Have the ocean and the four directions?" Shader laughed loudly after hearing this: "The Great Mongol Empire?"

"Hahaha" Shader looked around, and the Song soldiers also laughed.

Are you talking about the Mongolian herdsmen and their territories who are now terrified under our horses’ hooves?
Abra didn't know what they were laughing at, so he had to laugh with them quickly.

"What's your name?" Shader asked suddenly.

"Master, the little one's name is Abra." Abra thought to himself, didn't I just say that once?

"Abra, right? Have you ever heard of the Song Empire, the center of the world?" Shader said proudly.

Although he is a Dangxiang person, he is now proud of being a Song Dynasty person.

Because Xixia made him destroy his country and family and lose almost all his relatives, while Song Dynasty made him proud and proud, killing his enemies with blood.

"???" Abra looked confused, what is the center of the world?What Song Empire?I really haven't heard of it.

However, his expression changed slightly, and he looked carefully at the knights in front of him, thinking, are they not Mongolians?
"It seems that you haven't heard of the center of the world, the Great Song Empire." Shader rode a horse and moved slowly around, raising his long sword at the same time: "You pathetic people, from now on, you must remember The most powerful empire in the world today is not some rubbish Mongolian Tatar, but the Song Dynasty."

"Da Song?" Abra's heart trembled.

"Brothers." Shader brandished his sword and shouted, "Let the world remember the Song Dynasty."

"Let them remember the Song Dynasty."

"Any man who is taller than the horse's belly and has his head covered with cloth will be whipped and killed -"

"Kill——" Song Jun roared.

Rumble, the deafening sound of horse hooves sounded again.

"Ah-" Abra cried out in horror.

Shader's reason for killing people was to make them remember the Song Dynasty.

Everyone here only knows Mongolia.

That's why they deserve to die.

To kill, Song Jun rushed into the residential area and immediately raised his long knife when he saw the adult man wearing a turban.

After a meal of chopping melons and vegetables, a Song army gathered the remaining people together.

Everyone was kneeling on the ground shivering, and there were almost a thousand people at the scene.

Shader rode a tall war horse and said coldly and loudly: "Only kill some of them this time. If anyone dares to pay taxes to Mongolia in the future, next time we come here, we will kill them all and leave no one behind."

Someone in the crowd suddenly cried: "If we don't pay taxes, will the Mongols kill us?"

"Really?" Shader smiled again: "That's your business. You can leave here and go west, the farther the better."

"This was once our holy city?" the locals continued to cry.

These ethnic groups were very dedicated to this. A few years later, they rebuilt the new Yulongjie Chicheng south of the original Yulongjiechi, and it once again became the largest city nearby.

Then when the Turk Timur conquered this area, he didn't like this, and forced everyone to move out of Yulongjiechi, and razed Yulongjiecheng again.

So the once holy city of Khwarezm finally disappeared in the long river of history.

"Is the Holy City more important or your lives?" Shader asked with a smile.

The local man immediately fell to the ground, chanting unknown scriptures, as if he was praying for something.

Soon, people started to follow from all around, and then more and more people began to read their scriptures.

Shader's expression remained unchanged, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Drag him out."

Several Song soldiers immediately stepped forward and dragged out the local who had just spoken.

This man was chanting scriptures, his face changed drastically and he still wanted to struggle.

"Puch!" Song Jun cut off his head with a knife.

The scene was in an uproar, and many people cried again.

"Keep cutting until no one is chanting sutras." Shader said sharply: "Cut them one by one."

The Song army came forward and dragged them out one by one, dragging out whoever was chanting sutras.

These people are also like lunatics, they are still reciting, and the demonic sounds are rolling around them, which is very brainwashing.

Phew, papchi, the scene was filled with people.

Five, ten, fifteen, twenty.

When the number was cut to 22, the three No. 20 people finally gave up.

"I don't want to read anymore, I don't want to read anymore." The man yelled crazily, kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Shader pointed at No. 20 five.

He was dragged out and chopped again.

After counting down and cutting a few more times, it finally became quieter and quieter.

Soon the crowd suddenly became quiet, no one dared to hum, and the sound of the scriptures that sounded like a magic sound suddenly stopped.

Shader looked at these poor people coldly, walked back and forth in front of them, and suddenly pointed at an old man.

"You're not saying it with your mouth, but you're saying it in your heart. Drag it out."

Phew, chop the old man down again.

Then the Song Army dragged out a dozen more, and chopped them all off with the excuse that they were thinking.

Immediately, endless fear filled the crowd, and everyone felt that these Song people were more terrifying than the Mongols.

Shader looked at them coldly. Now these people should understand who is the most terrifying person in the world.

At this time, he walked towards Abra who had been kneeling on the other side.

Shader never killed him, he just kept him watching.

He squatted in front of Abra. Abra lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and his body kept shaking.

In fact, Abra was also reciting words such as "The Righteous Lord, the Righteous Lord bless me" in his mind, but he was afraid that Shader would say that he saw him reciting silently, so he tried his best to think about other things.

"Do you know the Song Dynasty?" Shader asked.

"We know each other, little one," Abra cried.

Shader stood up at this time, looked around, and said loudly: "Come, read it after me, everyone."

Everyone looked at Shader.

"Lord Buddha bless you, Amitabha." Shader said in Chinese.

"?" Abra was confused, and everyone was dumbfounded, because this was a language they had never heard of.

Shader waved his hand, and Song Jun came forward with his sword in hand.

"Lord Buddha bless you, Amitabha." Abra recited quickly, and then people around him began to recite.

Someone read a little too slowly, and when Song Jun stepped forward, he struck with a sword.

"Be good-obedient-" Shader touched Abra's head.

"The Taoist Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty, the Immortal Lord of Immortality--"

Abra cried and read it again.

"Be good—obedient—"

At this time, Shader helped Abra up and patted his shoulder: "This is how we people in Song Dynasty do things. I hope you like it."

Abra's expression was extremely ugly and he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Let's go." Shader got on his horse and searched for some supplies locally.

Driving, he quickly left the scene with a large group of Song troops and rushed to the next place.

He wanted to bring the Song Dynasty to the entire Central Asia.

Because he knew that after defeating Mongolia, the Song Army's cavalry would soon come here like ants.

The people of the Song Dynasty did not need the holy city of Khwarezm, nor did they need their true master.

Song people only needed obedient dogs, or dead people.

The next day, Shader began to turn south. He wanted to go further west, almost reaching the Caspian Sea.

I have to say that Shader was quite lucky. He originally considered continuing to the west or north, but according to the map, going west had to go to the Caspian Sea. After discussing with his fellow deputy general Zheng Dagen, the commander of the Song Army Camp, he decided to go south, and then You can go home further east.

It was also a shame that he led his people to the south, because not long after the Mongolian army's second western expedition began, he had to go north and then east, and he might have to encounter the 12 horses of the Mongolian army's western expedition. Going north, he was heading north. It was the main route of the Mongolian army's second western expedition.

The Song army went south for more than 100 miles and raided several settlements.

In some settlements, he trained the locals in deceptive ways.

For example, one or two Song troops were deliberately separated, escorting dozens of people, and then tied up two by two.

Some people did this, and some tried to resist because there were relatively few Song soldiers.

Shadr immediately ordered that all those who resisted and their families be beheaded.

Then the address of the person who led the resistance was found, and all the neighbors within [-] steps of his address in the southeast, northwest and northwest were cut down.

The locals were horrified when they heard this, because the Mongolian army had never done anything like this.

People in the Song Dynasty said this was called involvement.

Anyone who dares to resist the Song army will be killed by the leader and implicated.

At this time, the people within a radius of [-] miles changed their expressions when they heard about Meng Tatar. After the Song army came, they could really see what it meant to be more ruthless.

In the future, the terror of the Song Army will spread to all directions even more terrifying than the Mongols.

After leaving Yulong Jiechi, Shadr went south, crossed from the territory of Ucibekshtan in the later generations, and came to Roshan (also called Khorassan, the local meaning is: the place where the sun rises).

The country's borders originally included part of today's northeastern Iran, most of Afghanistan and Turkestan, all of Tajikistan, the eastern half of Uzbekistan, and a small part of Kyrgyzstan.

The territory was not too small, but after the Mongolian army came, they first destroyed Khwarezm and then Khorassan.

Because its ethnic composition is relatively complex, mainly Turkmen and Kurds, with a small number of Cannibals, Turks, Gypsies, and even Youda people, so the Mongolian army currently has a large number of soldiers in the western expedition. Turkmen, Kurds, and currently there are still very few Mongolian troops from these ethnic groups in the direction of the Song Dynasty.

Khorassan belongs to the Great Mongol Empire and is not within the fiefdoms of the sons of Genghis Khan. It is connected with Chagatai territory to the east and Jochi territory to the south. The Mongolian army has thousands of households here, and the locals call it 'Haza' La', the remaining Mongolians often intermarried with the locals, resulting in the Hazara nation, the third largest ethnic group in Afghanistan.

After the death of Genghis Khan, this place is currently under the management of Choermahan.

Choermahan came to rule here on the order of Ogedai the year before last and was responsible for conquering the surrounding areas.

But his headquarters is currently on the banks of the Arras River two thousand miles to the west, between Armenia and Yilan.

It was already the eighth day of the first year of Yuanzhen when Shader arrived here.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, he entered the territory of Persia (Yilang).
