Genghis Khan's huge golden tent car was surrounded by Mongolian generals who came after hearing the news. There were rumors in the army, and all the generals were uneasy, and many of them looked worried.
Suddenly, among the crowd of Mongolian generals, a man suddenly pulled out his sword, went straight towards another man, and struck him with a sword in the head. The other person was startled, rolled over in a panic, struck the ground with his knife, and the general dodged past.
All the generals were taken aback and quickly hugged the general holding the sword. Several other generals protected him in front of the general who got up in embarrassment.
"let me go!"
The hugged assailant struggled hard and cursed loudly.
"Subotai, you crazy dog! Why did you kill me, Abu? Didn't you lose the battle? Pay for his life!"
The generals were shocked, and Subotai's face was ashen. He pushed away the generals around him, drew his sword, and pointed it at the assailant.
"Let him go! Aoqi, don't you want to take revenge for suppressing posters? Let's end it now."
In full view of everyone, he was almost cut down, in a state of embarrassment, and was exposed to the scars of Song Dynasty's defeat. Subotai's heart was filled with evil fire.
The young general who committed the crime was named Aoqi, and he was the son of Subotai's commander Zhenhai. Zhenhai lost troops and generals in Xihe Prefecture in the Song Dynasty and was executed by Subutai. His son Aoqi seemed to come to avenge him.
"Let me go! Let me go! I'm going to kill this bastard!"
Aoqi struggled desperately and was hugged tightly by several generals.
"enough!"
Tali snatched the knife from Ao Qi's hand and slapped him hard on the face.
"Subutai is executing military orders. Why are you crazy? The Great Khan is still discussing matters in the golden tent. Do you want to live?"
Tali and Commander Chawuer pulled the blushing Aoqi aside.
If you fight against the powerful Subotai, you will be in big trouble in the future. I still don’t know if I can return to Mobei alive.
"Subotai, Aoqi is young and ignorant, Zhenhai is already dead, please spare him."
Tali bit the bullet and came over to persuade Subotai.
Subotai snorted coldly and sheathed his sword.
Genghis Khan is discussing matters in the golden tent. At this time, it is better not to cause trouble. There are plenty of opportunities to deal with an Aoqi.
Aoqi was pulled away, Subotai's face was ashen, and he was persuaded aside by the generals. Yelu Chucai stepped forward and softly comforted Subotai.
"General, you are still a child. It is unnecessary to be angry with him."
Subotai's face looked a little better, and he looked at Genghis Khan's golden tent, feeling uneasy.
"Yeluchucai, can you tell me how the Great Khan's condition is?"
Yelu Chucai was a fortune teller and had superb medical skills. Subotai wanted to know the specific condition of Genghis Khan.
Without Genghis Khan, he was sandwiched between Ogedai and Torre, where would he go?
Yelu Chucai's eyes signaled that Shuhu, who had just woken up from a dream, picked up a stack of books and entered Yelu Chucai's tent.
"Subutai, you've lost a lot of weight! Are your eyes okay?"
Yelu Chucai looked at Subotai in surprise. He hadn't seen him for a few days. Subotai was dark and thin, with an unshaven beard and one eye that looked strange. He was completely different from the cold and capable Mongolian number one general.
"It's nothing, maybe he's blind! Please tell me what's Dahan's condition like, can he survive it?"
Subotai said with a dark face and returned to the original topic.
Whether Genghis Khan could survive this was what he was most worried about.
"Subotai, you have seen the situation before you, so it doesn't matter. I'm afraid the Great Khan will be in trouble for the next few days."
Yelu Chucai smiled bitterly and replied respectfully.
Subotai's expression became even more depressed, and he sighed softly.
In fact, why should he ask? At this time, so many sons and adopted sons went to the big tent, and they could only explain the funeral arrangements.
Among the four dogs and four heroes, he was the only one left to accompany the Khan. Now, even the Great Khan is going.
"Subutai, please be patient. In fact, it is a miracle that the Great Khan has persisted until now. Birth, old age, illness and death are inevitable. Let's think about how to deal with the Great Khan's funeral."
Yelu Chucai thought of something, suddenly smiled and asked in a low voice:
"Subotai, I dare to ask, what was the result of the battle in Song Dynasty? Was it really a disastrous defeat?"
He heard that Subotai lost more than 10,000 troops in the Song Dynasty, which was beyond his expectation.
Being able to defeat Subotai, the most powerful general in Mongolia, it seems that these southerners are not as weak as imagined, and even a little scary.
"Yelu Chucai, you are a Bichichi. Why are you asking these questions?"
Subotai said impatiently.
"The Song army's firearms are really powerful. In the battle of Mianzhou City, the Song army's 100,000-strong army attacked and they had to suffer defeat. The property and food plundered from Tang Wuti and Jinjing, as well as tens of thousands of war horses, were all given to Lintao Mansion. lost."
Yelu Chucai was a fortune teller, and his attitude was respectful. Subotai was moved and made no attempt to conceal the defeat.
"One hundred thousand troops!"
Yelu Chucai was shocked.
Song Jun came prepared!
"Yelu Chucai, why are you asking about this? Emperor Song's imperial commander suddenly appeared during the expedition. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so miserable."
Subotai said bitterly, his eyes filled with hatred.
Fortunately, Genghis Khan was seriously ill and no one dared to tell him the news of his defeat. Otherwise, he is likely to be scolded by Genghis Khan.
Whether he scolded him angrily or scolded him, at least Genghis Khan still had the energy to scold him, and it didn't matter if he was whipped a few times. Now that Genghis Khan is dying, he feels very uncomfortable.
"Subotai, the Emperor of Song Dynasty went on a personal expedition? Is this true? Was our army defeated in a field battle, or was it an siege?"
Yelu Chucai couldn't help but feel frightened.
Genghis Khan was critically ill, and people were panicked. The emperors of the Song Dynasty have already taken action and occupied Lintao Mansion. Xixia may not be able to continue the siege.
"There are siege battles and field battles. In short, I am defeated, so stop asking!"
Subotai said dissatisfied, turned around and was about to leave.
The scars were revealed again, and Subotai was inevitably unhappy.
"Subotai, victory or defeat is a common thing for a soldier. Don't be angry or discouraged. I have calculated carefully and found that the defeat was not your fault, but the southerners had planned it and did it deliberately."
Yelu Chucai panicked, and he quickly spoke out.
As a mere "secretary" in the army, he did not dare to offend Subotai, a powerful general with a transcendent status in the Mongolian army.
"Yeluchucai, what did you say?"
Subotai stopped, his eyes full of surprise.
What the fortune teller said made him doubtful.
"Subutai, I mean, you were defeated in the Song Dynasty. It's not that you were defeated, but I'm afraid you fell into the trap of the Song army."
Subotai heard Yelu Chucai's words clearly and asked anxiously.
"Yeluchucai, is what you said true?"
He also felt useless. The Song army withdrew under the artillery fire and was intercepted halfway, without even a chance to counterattack.
"Subotai, please tell me first. The Song army occupied Lintao Mansion. What happened?"
Lintao Mansion was the territory of the Jin Kingdom, hundreds of miles away from the Song Dynasty. The Song army occupied Lintao Mansion, and Yelu Chucai couldn't help but feel moved.
Xixia had firearms, and so did the Song army, but the Jin people did not. The feud between the Jin and Song dynasties, and the marriage between the Song and Xia dynasties, the associations between them are evocative.
"Mr. Yelu, the Song Dynasty has strong walls and clear fields. It is particularly difficult to attack. Otherwise, the Song Emperor would not have led his army to sneak attack. Lintao Mansion has been occupied by the Song army. Tens of thousands of war horses, countless grains, grass, gold, silver and jewelry have all been taken away by the Song army. . Lanzhou and Taozhou City, there are not many garrisons in these places, and I’m afraid they are all gone.”
Subotai looked more respectful and addressed Yelu Chucai as "Mr. Yelu".
It was also his fault that Lintao Prefecture had only 2,000 cavalry left during the expedition, and was attacked by the Song army in one fell swoop.
"The Song army strengthened its walls and cleared the country, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty personally conquered..."
Yelu Chucai's heart became clearer.
"Subotai, according to my calculations, the firearms of the Tang Wuti people are all from the Song Dynasty. In Lingzhou City, there may be Song troops helping to defend the city. The Song troops have been prepared early and are waiting for our troops to fall into the trap at any time. Song Dynasty If someone is intentional, then you should stop worrying about defeat.”
After Yelu Chucai finished speaking, he raised his hands and saluted.
As long as he understood that Song Jun did it intentionally, he would have nothing to ask. Subotai knew that Song Jun intended to do this and would definitely tell Wo Kuotai. Maybe then, his chance will come.
"I asked why Lingzhou City is so difficult to defeat. Mianzhou City seems to be exactly the same. It turns out that the Southerners are causing trouble inside. One day, I must lead my troops to come and kill the Southerners with their blood flowing into rivers, and kill the Song Emperor Zhao Cut off Hong’s head!”
Subotai suddenly understood, and his expression softened a lot.
Tens of thousands of Song troops accompanied the Song Emperor to march in person. This was not something that happened overnight. It must have been planned for a long time.
"Mr. Yelu, thank you very much. If you have any difficulties in the army in the future, just come to me directly!"
After Subotai finished speaking, he turned around and left, looking much more relaxed on his feet.
The smile on Yelu Chucai's face disappeared, and he frowned in thought.
Song Emperor Zhao Hong...
Could it really be Zhao Hong, the author of "Tatar Policy" and "Selected Poems of Zhao Hong of the Song Dynasty"?
"Mr. Yelu, Subotai, is he really defeated?"
Shu suddenly came over and continued to sort out the books, his eyes filled with disappointment.
The mighty Mongolian general was really defeated!
"Shu Hu, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. Is this strange? Even the Great Khan had many defeats in his time, but you didn't know it."
Yelu Chucai said nonchalantly, but his thoughts were all on Zhao Hong.
There are so many beauties in the country that it attracts countless heroes to bow their waists.
If the Song Emperor is really Zhao Hong, with his ambitions, the Song Kingdom will definitely be a serious problem for the Mongolian Kingdom in the future.
"When the Song army is defeated, I will chop off the Song Emperor's head to vent the evil anger on our Mongolian army!"
Shuhu said fiercely that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
Yelu Chucai glanced at his guards in surprise and shook his head secretly.
Soon after the famous general of the Mongolian army, tens of thousands of troops returned in vain. Where did Shuhu get his confidence and courage?
"If the skill is unexpected, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Don't underestimate the heroes of the world."
Yelu Chucai said softly.
Whenever China is in crisis, there are always heroes who step forward to turn the tide. The mysterious Emperor of the Song Dynasty in front of me is probably not a good person either.
