The third year of Xingqing in the Song Dynasty and the fourth year of Jin Zhengda; in May, Jinjing, Liupan Mountain.
There are many mountains, beautiful scenery, green trees and flowers, clear streams and deep pools, which are cool and pleasant. It is a natural holy place to enjoy the coolness in summer. As the muffled thunder sounded in the distance, the sky was soon filled with haze, the red sun disappeared, and there was a strong possibility of a mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.
In the valley, green shade covers the sky and the sun is blocked, and streams gurgling away. In the golden tent of Mongol Khan Temujin, a group of Xixia envoys kneel respectfully on the ground and are delivering a speech to Genghis Khan who is sitting in front of him. , cautious and respectful.
On the ground beside them, several large boxes were opened, filled with gold, silver, jade and antiques. They were obviously tribute treasures from Xixia.
"Emperor Genghis of the Great Mongol Kingdom, our country's leader said that the Great Xia Kingdom has rebelled against Emperor Genghis many times, and its territory has been repeatedly attacked by the Mongol army. It is the fault of itself. From now on, the Great Xia Kingdom will never dare to rebel again. , must show slave-like obedience to Emperor Genghis!"
Li Zhong'e, the envoy of Xixia and Minister of Rites, knelt on the ground with a respectful look on his face and did not dare to express his anger.
Luo Shichang, the deputy envoy of Xixia and the envoy of Nanyuan Xuanhui, also knelt on the ground, holding his breath and not daring to raise his head.
This Mongolian Khan was decisive in killing and had a heart as hard as stone. If he said anything wrong, they would be dismembered and their bodies would be fed to wild dogs.
"Why doesn't Li Sui come?"
Genghis Khan said softly, unable to help but cough a few times.
"Back to Emperor Genghis of Great Mongolia, my lord is preparing gifts for the audience at the rear, so he cannot come. The king sent us to meet with Emperor Genghis first, requesting peace talks and signing an oath. I hope Emperor Genghis will give my lord a month's time limit. , so that he can prepare the ceremony for the audience and ask Emperor Genghis for permission!"
The voice of Xixia envoy Li Zhonge sounded again.
Under the eaves, I had to bow my head. What's more, when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, no matter how humiliated and sad, you can only grovel.
"That's right. Go back and tell Li Sui to come and sign the oath as soon as possible without delay."
Genghis Khan spoke softly and looked calm.
"Emperor Genghis, our lord will lead the people of Great Xia to submit to the Great Mongolia. From now on, there will be no Great Xia in the world. The people of Great Xia are also the people of the Great Mongolia. I hope Emperor Genghis will treat them well and treat me, the king and ministers of Great Xia well."
Luo Shichang was respectful, gritted his teeth, and took the opportunity to observe Genghis Khan's situation.
With just a slight glance, Genghis Khan's pale face and trembling body were clearly visible and could not be hidden.
"Bold! Why don't you kneel down!"
The guards at the corner of the tent shouted loudly, and Luo Shichang and Li Zhonge kowtowed repeatedly, trembling with fear.
"Khan, spare your life!"
"Khan forgives!"
The guards in the tent are all descendants of Mongolian princes and nobles, and are used to bossing around, let alone the small country of Xixia.
"Forget it. All of them have white beards, and they are much older than you."
Genghis Khan said softly, and the guards quickly agreed, bowed their heads and retreated.
He was seriously ill and no longer wanted to kill, hoping to move the Immortal God to help him get rid of his illness. Therefore, they would not kill Luo Shichang and others lightly, especially since the two of them were already gray-haired.
"Thank you, the Great Khan, for your forgiveness!"
Luo Shichang and Li Zhong'e kowtowed obediently, secretly letting out a sigh of relief and secretly glad to have escaped.
"Get up. Go back and tell King Tangwuti and the people of Xingling that as long as you surrender, I, Temujin, will never treat the people of Tangwuti badly, and I will also treat the kings and ministers of Tangwuti kindly!"
Genghis Khan tried his best to sit up straight, and unknowingly his forehead was covered with sweat. He waved his hand majestically, and Li Zhong'e and Luo Shichang quickly got up and retreated obediently.
This time, neither of them dared to raise their heads.
"Go back! Kaicheng surrender early!"
"If you dare to pretend to surrender, I will massacre your entire Lingzhou City and Zhongxing Fucheng!"
When Li Zhong'e, Luo Shichang and other Xixia envoys came out, the Mongolian generals outside the tent angrily scolded them. Li Zhonge and Luo Shichang repeatedly surrendered, and then the generals made way for them. Li Zhonge and others left in embarrassment.
"Be quiet and don't make any noise."
Wokuotai brought the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin over. When he saw the Mongolian generals outside the tent, all of them were in a state of disarray, he couldn't help but frown and give a warning.
"Ogedei, come in quickly. Everyone is waiting for the reward from the Great Khan."
"Wokuotai, what are you doing with these things? Why don't you just kill them and throw them into the mountains to feed the wolves?"
"With this little thing, who are you trying to fool? Why didn't your princess from the Kingdom of Jin send it to you? Don't you want to live anymore?"
The generals urged Wo Kuotai carelessly, and also scolded and intimidated the Jin envoys.
"Ahem!"
Torre coughed with a dark face, and all the generals immediately shut up. No one dared to speak anymore.
Wokuotai glanced at the generals, nodded slightly towards Torre, and turned his head with playful eyes. He took the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, who were worried and smiling apologetically, onto the giant car.
Li Zhong'e and Luo Shichang had just exited, and Genghis Khan could no longer hold on. He coughed violently and plum blossoms were scattered all over the ground.
"Sweat!"
Ye was shocked and turned pale, and quickly stepped forward to support Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan, is he terminally ill?
"Sweat!"
Everyone in the tent was horrified and wanted to step forward. Genghis Khan waved his hand gently. The guards looked at each other and returned to their original positions.
Then he couldn't hold it back any longer and started sobbing softly.
"Yesui, don't cry, don't let outsiders see it, let alone Tang Wuti's envoy."
Genghis Khan looked at his beloved concubine and said softly.
So he quickly wiped away his tears, offered warm soup, and supported Genghis Khan to drink it.
"Great Khan, please see me at Wo Kuotai!"
"Let him in."
Genghis Khan nodded slightly, then spoke up, and Wokuotai came in.
"Abu, the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin... is in critical condition, do you want to take a rest?"
Father and son were heart-to-heart, and when they saw the blood on the ground, Wo Kuotai was horrified, but he stopped talking, and his concern was beyond words.
Meeting the Tangut envoys is something that can be dealt with by oneself. Genghis Khan had to deal with it personally despite his illness, which shows that his hatred for Xixia cannot be eliminated.
However, looking at my father's face, which is all yellow, and his eyes are unfocused, does this mean the end is approaching?
"Yes, Dahan. Let Wokuotai handle these matters. Dahan should have a good rest."
He was frightened and persuaded Genghis Khan.
"So, let people clean up the ground so that no one outside can see it."
After Genghis Khan finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Ogedai and whispered:
"Wokuotai, the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin are still outside. Go and let them in."
Knowing Genghis Khan's character, Wokuotai had no choice but to walk to the tent door, lift the curtain and go out.
So he asked the guards to clean it up quickly and replace it with a new rug.
"Ogedei, how about Abu (the Great Khan)?"
Seeing Wokuotai coming out, Torre and a group of Mongolian generals immediately surrounded him, talking all over the place.
"Shh!"
Wokuotai quickly made a gesture of silence, coughed slightly, and raised his voice.
"The envoys from the Kingdom of Jin came to the tent to meet with the Great Khan!"
Wokuotai was noncommittal, and Torre and the generals dispersed one after another. The envoy from the Kingdom of Jin came over, smiling, nodding and bowing, and followed Wo Kuotai into the golden tent.
"What does Ogedai mean? What's wrong with the Great Khan?"
"The Great Khan received the Jinxia envoy, it seems nothing serious!"
The generals were all talking and whispering, and Torre whipped the wooden stake next to him and said something resentful.
"Don't say anything, what are you doing?"
Torre glanced at the generals with a sullen expression, and they quickly shut up and stood up straight.
"My minister, Wanyan Hezhou, came to beg for peace on the orders of our Emperor, the Great Jin Emperor. I also asked Emperor Genghis of the Great Mongol Kingdom to withdraw his heavenly troops, and promised my court to surrender to peace. The two countries will have good relations and will never be at odds with each other."
The envoys from the Kingdom of Jin came in and knelt down one after another. Wanyan Hezhou was kneeling on the ground and said tremblingly.
Genghis Khan hated the Kingdom of Jin deeply. Whether he could return alive depended on Genghis Khan's mood.
"Golden Envoy, get up!"
Ogedai glanced at Genghis Khan who remained calm and spoke on his behalf.
"Jin Envoy, the Xia people have repeatedly betrayed our Mongolian country, gone back on their word, and conspired to cause chaos. Our army has vowed to destroy the Xia Kingdom. Since your Jin Kingdom has surrendered, immediately send troops after returning to help my army destroy the Xia Kingdom. You can do it. Are you here?"
Wokuotai said coldly and asked on behalf of Genghis Khan.
The Kingdom of Jin and Xixia formed a private alliance to form a kingdom of brothers. Xixia was in trouble, but the Jin Kingdom did not send a single soldier. Wo Kuotai despised the Jin people from the bottom of his heart.
"Back to the Great Khan, this matter is of great importance. I am afraid that I, a small envoy, cannot comment on these important military and state affairs. After I return, I will report it to our Lord and then reply to the Great Khan. Please forgive me, Great Khan!"
Wanyan and Zhou forced a smile and boldly replied.
The Mongol army dominates the world, and the generals under Genghis Khan are ruthless. If you annoy these people, there will probably be another war and all life will be in ruins.
"Since you can't decide these things, then why are you here?"
Wokuotai's face turned serious again.
"Quick! Bring the gift up and present it to the Khan!"
Wanyan Hezhou quickly waved, and his entourage immediately brought up the gifts for the audience.
The box was opened, full of gold and silver jewelry, rare antiques, calligraphy and paintings, dazzling and heart-pounding.
"Emperor Genghis of Mongolia, in addition to these gold, silver and jewels, my lord has presented us with thirty beauties and 500 horses as a token of my Lord's surrender to peace. Please accept the offer, please, the Great Khan!"
Wanyan Hezhou nodded and bowed, with a flattering smile on his face.
Since the Mongolian army invaded the territory at the beginning of the year and attacked the city, the entire Longyou was under the iron heel of the Mongolian army. The Jin people came to seek peace many times, but were turned away by Genghis Khan.
This time, Genghis Khan finally allowed the golden envoy to see him, which really made him overjoyed.
"You dare to fool the Great Khan with this little thing? Where is your Princess of Jin? Why didn't she send it? Don't you want to be like the Tangwuti people and form an alliance with the Nanheqin? Or are you planning to make peace with the Tangwuti people and work together? To deal with our great Mongolia?"
Wokuotai was rude and pointed out that Jin Guo made too many small moves.
It is not surprising at all that the Jin Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom formed an alliance against the Great Mongolia. Could it be that Subutai defeated the Song Dynasty? Could it be that the Song people also got involved?
However, Subutai was defeated and his generals were lost. Genghis Khan could not let him know about this. Otherwise, if the father gets angry, his body will only get worse.
