Ogedei and Torre entered the golden tent together, and saw Genghis Khan sitting on the soft couch in high spirits. The two of them immediately smiled and came forward to greet him.
"Abu, you look better!"
"Abu, that's great!"
Ogedai and Torre were beaming with joy. Genghis Khan gave a rare smile and nodded to indicate to his sons to stand still. When Khuli and Baershu came in, Genghis Khan nodded slightly to his tall nephew Brother Yixiang at the door of the tent.
"Brother Yixiang, guard the door of the big tent. No one is allowed to come in without the instructions of the Great Khan."
Then he spoke on behalf of Genghis Khan. Brother Yixiang quickly nodded in agreement, walked out, and stood guard outside the tent. At the same time, he raised his ears and listened to what was going on inside.
He is a sharp archer in the army and a famous fierce general. Letting him guard outside shows Genghis Khan's trust in him.
"Wo Kuotai, read this. What does this book mean?"
Genghis Khan said to Ogedai warmly.
Among all the nephews, only Wo Kuotai knew some Han Chinese articles. The others might know a few words, but most of them knew nothing about it.
"Abu, this poem talks about the scenery of the Great Wall in the north. It says that Abu is a god sent from heaven to the world. He is as wise and powerful as Qin Shihuang, Han Wu Emperor, and Tang Taizong."
Wokuotai got along well with Yelu Chucai, and he knew only a little about poetry.
Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Emperor Tang and Song Zu, he selectively omitted Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of Song Dynasty.
How can a weak country that was beaten to a corner in the south of the Yangtze River produce heroes?
"Messengers sent from heaven to earth are bound to die."
Genghis Khan smiled softly and his expression returned to gentleness.
"My children, I am going to die. From now on, you can only rely on yourselves."
Wokuotai, Tuo Lei and others were startled, and then they all knelt down, some with tears streaming down their faces.
"Abu, you will be fine!"
"Khan, take care of yourself!"
Genghis Khan was seriously ill and died, and the news had already spread in the army. Looking at today's posture, Genghis Khan may really want to conquer the dragon.
"Everyone must die, no one is exempt."
Genghis Khan looked at his nephews kneeling on the ground in the tent with a soft voice.
"Children, I have established for you a vast Mongolian country, which is larger than the countries of Qin Shihuang and Tang Taizong. I am going to die, and I want you to make your last words in front of me: You must work together to deal with the outside world. Support the new Great Khan and no one can resist!”
Wo Kuotai's heart trembled. It seems that my father is going to announce the new successor of the Great Khan.
This new Mongol Khan should be the ruler.
"But there is only one Khan. If my sons all want to become the Great Khan of Mongolia and the overlord of Mongolia, they will kill each other and the huge Mongol Empire will collapse."
All the nephews and nephews had their own concerns, and Genghis Khan spoke warmly, which seemed to be his last dying words.
"Abu, we all listen to you!"
"Khan, we all listen to you!"
Ogedai and Tuo Lei, as well as all Genghis Khan's nephews, rushed to swear an oath to Genghis Khan.
At this time, even though he had thousands of ideas in his mind, he was still impassioned and followed the Great Khan's final instructions.
"Wo Kuotai, stand up and sit next to me."
Genghis Khan waved, Wo Kuotai wiped his tears, got up, and sat next to Genghis Khan.
He finally felt relieved that his father Genghis Khan was going to let him inherit the throne of Mongolia.
His younger brother Torey, Genghis Khan's favorite youngest son, did not have this opportunity.
"You all listen up. Wo Kuotai is a man of great talent and resourcefulness. Among you brothers, he has the most outstanding talent. From today on, he will be the next Great Khan of Mongolia. You must support him and support him."
Genghis Khan held Ogedei's hand and looked at his nephews. His eyes swept across their faces one by one, staying on Tore's face for a moment before moving away.
"I want you to swear in front of me that you will recognize Ogedei as the next Mongolian Khan, abide by the laws of Mongolia, and write a document to prove it."
Genghis Khan's voice became stern. Even though his voice was not loud, everyone was still frightened and trembling.
The majesty of the Mongol Khan is evident.
"Abu, I swear that I am willing to support Ogodei as the next Great Khan of Mongolia, abide by the laws of Mongolia, and I am willing to write a document as evidence, and I will never bear what Abu said today!"
Torre was horrified by his father's sight. He knelt down and swore solemnly, wrote his name on the document in front of him, then stood up and stepped aside.
Genghis Khan also solemnly warned his other sons and nephews:
"Barshu, Kolejian, Uluchi, Khuli, Mengdu, Tuohu, and Yianchitai, I also want you to swear in front of me that you will recognize Ogedai as the next Mongol Khan and abide by the Mongolian Kingdom. The decree was enacted as evidence."
"Abu (Great Khan), I swear that I am willing to support Ogodei as the next Great Khan of Mongolia, abide by the laws of Mongolia, and write a document to prove it, and never bear what Abu (Great Khan) said today!"
The brothers of Wokuotai, including the non-Zhao brothers, all swore in front of Genghis Khan, and everyone signed a document.
After Genghis Khan finished explaining the important things, he was sweating profusely and felt much more relaxed.
"Abu, why don't you take a rest and we'll talk about it later."
After being officially appointed as the next Great Khan of Mongolia, Wo Kuotai felt at ease and quickly persuaded his father.
"My second will is to destroy all my money."
Genghis Khan said warmly, ignoring Wokuotai, but instead earnestly warned his nephews.
"The elite soldiers of the Jin Kingdom are all in Tongguan. There are mountains to the south and rivers to the north. It is difficult to break through in a short time. If I can make a false move to the Song Dynasty, the Song and Jin Dynasties are world enemies, and they will definitely allow me to attack Bian from Tangzhou and Dengzhou. Liangcheng. The Jin people will definitely mobilize troops from everywhere, surround the points for reinforcements, and defeat them one by one."
"Yes, Abu (Great Khan)!"
Wokuotai and Tuo Lei looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
The Mongolian army is already at war with the Song army. It may not be easy to pretend to go to the Song Dynasty to attack the Jin Dynasty.
Genghis Khan was seriously ill, so they naturally did not dare to tell their father about the war between Song and Mongolia.
"Wo Kuotai, I will leave the country of Mongolia to you."
Genghis Khan patted Ogedai's shoulder gently, and then looked serious.
"You all remember, after I die, you should not mourn for me, and you cannot let the Tangwuti people know the news of my death. If the Tangwuti people surrender, kill them all when they come out of the city! The entire Xing and Ling land , I want them to leave nothing behind."
Facing his son and the generals standing in awe, Genghis Khan solemnly warned everyone, as if this was his last wish.
"You all remember, you must destroy Tang Wuti and the Kingdom of Jin, you must destroy them, you must destroy their royal family, and leave them alone!"
Genghis Khan's cloudy eyes revealed a frightening coldness.
"Great Khan, we must capture Zhongxing Mansion and kill all the Tangwuti people! We must destroy the Jin Kingdom and kill all their royal families! No one will be left alive!"
All the generals in the tent knelt down together and swore in unison, crying and choking.
Many people understand that these were Genghis Khan's final words.
Genghis Khan was about to die, and their invincible commander was about to pass away. Many of them cried bitterly and at the same time, they were also panic-stricken.
Although Ogedei was the designated successor of the Great Khan, the Great Khan's youngest son Tore controlled 80% of the troops of the Mongol Empire. What will the Mongol Khanate look like in the future? Will there be internal strife?
Without Genghis Khan, who knows whether the Mongolian army can still be invincible and invincible.
"Everyone, go out and call Yelu Chucai in."
After Genghis Khan finished speaking, his face turned gray and he slowly leaned on the couch.
After the generals left, Yelu Chucai was called in, and his beloved concubine followed suit, serving Genghis Khan carefully.
"Khan, you have to take care of your body and bones!"
Yelu Chucai obviously understood what had just happened. He came in and knelt down, crying bitterly.
"Yeluchucai, get up."
Genghis Khan's words were weak, which showed that his body was weak and his fuel was exhausted.
"Can you tell me whether the Tangwu people will surrender before I die?"
Genghis Khan's words made Yelu Chucai kneel on the ground, stunned for a long time.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Genghis Khan will die of illness in an instant. At this time, why should he be asked to divine?
Seeing Genghis Khan frowning, as if he was about to get angry, Yelu Chucai was frightened, and quickly sat on the ground, pretending to be a ghost.
"Great Khan, you will definitely see the Tang Wu Ti people destroyed by our great Mongolian kingdom!"
At this time, he didn't dare to say no. If Genghis Khan is offended, his life will be taken at any time.
"Yelu Chucai, you are lying to me again. However, there is only such a small area left in the Tang Wu Ti Kingdom, which is no different from the destruction of the country. I asked Wo Kuotai and the others to destroy the Tang Wu Ti Kingdom, just because I don't want them to stop making progress."
Genghis Khan suddenly flushed and sat up straight.
"Yelü Chucai, tell me, what will the world think of me after I die?"
Yelu Chucai was stunned and speechless for a moment.
The blood of the people killed by Genghis Khan could gather into a river, and the corpses were piled higher than a mountain. Countless cities were leveled by him, and the farmland he destroyed could feed tens of millions of people.
"The Great Khan's martial arts were unprecedented and unparalleled. In his lifetime, he was invincible and victorious. He destroyed forty countries and all the countries surrendered. The Great Khan is a genius of his generation and will be admired by future generations."
After hesitating for a moment, Yelu Chucai spoke up.
"The genius of the generation, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend a bow and shoot eagles. This man from the Song Dynasty actually thinks very well of me. He is a decisive and invincible man of heaven. After all, I am just a herdsman on the grassland who likes to ride horses and shoot arrows. .”
Genghis Khan's eyes were bright and he spoke with a smile.
"Herdsmen, it's better to go back to his grassland, that's where he belongs."
Genghis Khan looked kind, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
"Sweat!"
Yelu Chucai choked up.
Only then did he feel that the Genghis Khan in front of him was a living old man of flesh and blood, not the usual decisive and iron-blooded warrior.
"I, Genghis Khan, have killed countless people and destroyed countless countries. Wherever my Mongolian cavalry goes, no one can defeat me, and everyone surrenders. I, Genghis Khan, don't care what the world thinks!"
Suddenly, Genghis Khan raised his voice and said proudly, the stubbornness in his eyes clearly revealed.
Yelu Chucai was shocked. This is the unruly Genghis Khan, who acts as he pleases and has a heart as solid as stone.
"You're sweating profusely. It's better to have a good rest. Don't overwork yourself!"
Yelu Chucai looked at Genghis Khan. In a very short time, the red light on Genghis Khan's face disappeared. It was obvious that the lamp was exhausted, and his eyes were blurred, as if they were about to close.
Yelu Chucai was frightened and shouted loudly.
"Medical officer, where is the medical officer? Come in, come in!"
He is also an expert medical doctor. Genghis Khan's energy is like a gossamer. He is already on his deathbed and is about to pass away.
"The merits and demerits have their own merits... Future generations will comment... Chang...shengtian, I'm coming, I... are coming, I'm coming..."
Amid Yelu Chucai's choked sobs, Genghis Khan murmured to himself, his voice getting lower and lower, and his blurred eyes began to blur and became dull.
Finally, Genghis Khan remained motionless and closed his eyes.
"Sweat profusely..."
Ye then covered his face and cried bitterly. Yelu Chucai also knelt down and sobbed.
After Genghis Khan died, where would the huge Mongol Empire he left behind go?
The Mongolian army kept its mourning secret and was still waiting for the return of Xixia. However, will Xixia, who still has a trace of vitality, be captured without mercy?
There is also the mysterious Song Dynasty. They attacked Lanzhou and Lintao Prefecture and watched with eager eyes. Are they really just expelling the Mongolian army from the country?
Genghis Khan died, the Mongolian generals were disheartened, epidemics were prevalent in the army, and Ogedai and Torre were at odds with each other...
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty went on a personal expedition with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, sharp weapons, and the lives of the three armies. It seemed that this was not a good thing.
More than 100,000 Song and Mongolian armies faced each other in Xinhui Prefecture, Gong Prefecture, and Qin Prefecture. Is the Mongolian army sure of victory?
Amid internal and external troubles, we must carefully weigh everything. If he were Wo Kuotai, retreating would be the best choice at this time.
In 1227 AD, the year of Dinghai, early June, the third year of Xingqing in the Southern Song Dynasty, the second year of Baoyi in Western Xia, and the fourth year of Jinzhengda, Genghis Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, died of illness in Liupan Mountain in Jinjing at the age of sixty-six.
