Traveling to Xianwu

Chapter 77

But Guo Jing told Hua Zheng the news he had just overheard, and wanted her to inform Temujin, but Temujin didn't believe Hua Zheng's words, thinking it was just a lie made up by her because she didn't want to marry Shidu. Next, Hua Zheng was taken away by Mei Chaofeng. Ma Yu and the remaining six of the Jiangnan Seven Monsters tricked Mei Chaofeng and frightened Mei Chaofeng away. The people set off to the Wanghan tribe.

Guo Jing heard this, and hurriedly rode on the little red horse and chased after it to report to Temujin.I got excited about running, ran faster and faster, and became more happy when I ran, until I couldn't hold my feet on the prairie.Guo Jing was afraid that it would be exhausted, so he reined in the rein for a short rest, but it didn't want to, as soon as the rein was let go, it immediately cheered and hissed, and rushed forward.Although the horse galloped vigorously, its panting did not intensify, it seemed that it did not exert any effort at all.

After running like this for two hours, Guo Jing reined in and dismounted his horse to rest for a while, then got on his horse and ran again. After more than an hour, he suddenly saw three groups of cavalry lined up on the grassland in the distance, and the number of them was three thousands. .In a blink of an eye, the red horse was approaching the team.Guo Jing looked at the cavalry flags and knew they were Wang Han's subordinates. He saw bows drawn up, knives out of their sheaths, and they were on guard. With a pinch, the little red horse flew off the string like an arrow, and with a whistling sound, it rolled its hooves and flew past the team.The general who led the team shouted to stop them, one person and one rider had already gone far.

Guo Jing didn't dare to stop, he bypassed three batches of ambush soldiers in a row, and ran for a while, he saw Temujin's white-haired banner held high in front of him, hundreds of riders lined up in a row, each of them trotted forward, Go north.Guo Jing urged his horse to go forward, ran to Temujin's horse, and shouted: "Khan, turn around quickly, you can't go ahead!"

Temujin reined in his horse in astonishment, and said, "What?" Guo Jing told what he had seen and heard outside the Sangkun camp the night before, and that the way back had been cut off.

Temujin was skeptical and glared at Guo Jing sideways.See if he plays tricks,
Seeing his disbelief, Guo Jing suddenly said, "Khan, you will find out if you send someone to check the way you came."

Temujin had experienced hundreds of battles and had fought viciously since he was a child. Although he felt that it was absolutely impossible for Wang Han and Jamuka to harm him, he thought: "If you are too careful, it doesn't matter a thousand times: It's one too many times to rush to death!" Then he ordered his second son, Cha Hetai, and General Chi Laowen: "Turn back and scout!" They let their horses go and ran back the way they came.

Temujin inspected the surrounding terrain and issued an order: "Go up to the mountain and be on guard!" Although there were only a few hundred of his entourage, all of them were fierce generals and warriors. Do a good job of shielding against arrows.

After a while, the dust head rose in the south, thousands of riders rushed over, Chahetai and Chi Laowen rushed in the front in the smoke and dust.With sharp eyes, Jebie had already seen the banners of the pursuers, and shouted, "It's really Wang Han's army horse."

Temujin sent people to meet Chi Laowen, and then stood on the earth hill to look out. He saw Wang Han's cavalry in the four directions, like dark clouds, and a man under the yellow flag was riding a tall horse. Son Sangkun.Temujin knew that it would be difficult to break out of the encirclement, so he had the right to delay the attack, and shouted loudly: "Please brother Sangkun come and talk.

Sang Kun approached the earth mountain surrounded by his own soldiers. Dozens of soldiers stood up with iron shields and protected them from front and back, in case of cold arrows on the mountain.Sangkun was high-spirited and shouted loudly: "Tiemujin, surrender quickly."

Temujin said: "Where did I offend Wang Han's adoptive father, and you sent troops to attack me?"

Sang Kun said: "Mongols have been separated from each other for generations, and cattle, sheep and livestock are shared by one clan. Why do you violate the law of your ancestors and want to mix all clans together? My father often said that it is wrong for you to do so."

Temujin said: "The Mongols are oppressed by the Dajin Kingdom. The Dajin Kingdom requires us to pay tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses every year. Is it right? Everyone is starved to death by the Dajin Kingdom. As long as we Mongols are not So you hit me, I hit you, why do you want
Afraid of Dajin Kingdom?My foster father Wang Han and I have always been reconciled, there is no enmity between our two families, it was all provoked by the Kingdom of Jin. "

When the soldiers under Sang Kun heard this, they were all moved and felt that what he said was reasonable.

Temujin said again: "The Mongols are all capable and good fighters. Why don't we go to take the gold and silver treasures of the Jin Kingdom? Why do we have to donate animal furs to them every year? Some Mongols work hard to graze cattle. Sheep, some are delicious and lazy, why should they be hardworking?
Feed the lazy?Why not let the industrious have more cattle and sheep?Why not let lazy people starve to death? "

Seeing that Temujin was instigating the morale of his subordinates, Sang Kun was anxious, and shouted: "Tiemujin, throw down your bow, arrow, sword and gun and surrender immediately! Otherwise, I will point my horsewhip and send out ten thousand crossbows, and you will never survive!" The battle was about to break out.

Sang Kun was about to direct the attack, but he didn't want Shi Du to show off his power in front of the battle at this time. Instead, Guo Jing used the speed of the little red horse to capture him. Temujin had Shi Du as a hostage, and Sang Kun treasured Shi Du, when he was hesitating, Wanyan Honglie asked the four ghosts of the Yellow River to take action, trying to capture Temujin, but was stopped by Guo Jing. After such a delay, dust suddenly rose in the distance, and it seemed that tens of thousands of people rushed forward. Sangkun's team loosened up immediately.

At this time, Temujin quickly broke through Sangkun's team with Shidu as a hostage. Sangkun felt sorry for his son, and was hesitantly rushed out of the siege by Temujin. A suspicious strategy made by young people.
That night, Temujin rewarded the soldiers, but invited Dushi to sit at the head, and said: "Father Wang Han and Brother Sangkun have treated me as much as a mountain, and there is no enmity between the two sides. Please go back and plead guilty on my behalf. I will again Choose expensive gifts to give to my foster father and brother, please don't mind. After you go back, you are going to marry my daughter. Our two families have a big feast for the heads of the tribes. It must be a good time. You are my son-in-law, that is, My son, from now on, the two families must be as close as one family, and they must not be provoked by others."

It was a surprise that Du Shimeng didn't kill him, and he agreed without saying anything at the moment. When he spoke, Temujin held his right hand to his chest, coughing unceasingly, thinking: "Could it be that he was injured."

If you heard Temujin say: "I got an arrow here today, I'm afraid it will take three months to recover, otherwise I should send you back in person." As he spoke, his right hand stretched out from his chest, and his hand was full. It's all blood.He said again: "You don't need to wait for my recovery, you can get married, otherwise... otherwise, you will have to wait too long."

Seeing that Da Khan was so cowardly and fearful of Wang Han, all the generals were annoyed that he still wanted to marry Hua Zheng to Du Shi.The son of a commander was Temujin's personal bodyguard. He was shot and killed by Sangkun's subordinates while guarding Tushan last night. The commander was so angry that he drew his sword to kill Dushi.Temujin immediately took him down, dragged him to the front of the tent, and hit him forty times with the military stick in front of Du Shiqian, until he was dripping with blood and passed out.Temujin shouted: "Imprisoned, after three days, the whole family will be beheaded."

Early the next morning, Temujin prepared two carts of golden sable skins, a thousand fat sheep, and a hundred fine horses, and sent fifty soldiers to escort Dushi back. He also sent a eloquent envoy to He solemnly apologized to Wang Han and Sang Kun.When farewell, iron wood

Really unable to ride a horse, lying on a stretcher, out of breath, said goodbye to Du Shi.

After he had gone for eight days, Temujin summoned the generals and said, "Assemble your troops, let's set off to attack Wang Han." You can’t win a war, you have to sneak attack. I let Du Shi go, gave generous gifts, and pretended to be seriously injured by an arrow in the chest, so that they wouldn’t be on guard.”
