The military minister died in the battle, and his tribe suffered heavy losses. Although it was also a loss for Yuanmeng, if it was just like this, Temujin could still comfort himself and treat it as weakening Maodun.
After all, Temujin had always had a rather complicated perception of Moton.
Facing a formidable enemy like the Jin army, talents like Mao Dun are absolutely useful. Although Yuan and Meng are full of talents, they certainly cannot compare with the Jin army in this regard. Temujin needs to keep this person.
However, this is also a hidden danger in the final analysis!
Besides, do you really think that ancient emperors just killed people when they wanted to?
It’s nothing more than an idiot’s delusion!
Even for powerful monarchs like the First Emperor of Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, when they wanted to execute ministers, they never had a suitable reason, and at most they were just suspected of being guilty.
In matters like politics, one has to grasp one area and uncover a large area.
Li Xiang has been clearing out those imperialists in the past few years, but every time he took the initiative to fish out the opponent before taking action. Before fishing out the opponent, when did Li Xiang kill the opponent directly by saying that it was three strikes, five divided by two?
They killed them directly without catching anything. Among the many emperors, only a few people represented by Yang Guang dared to play like this. Of course, the final result is obvious.
But Maodun had always been careful when he could, and cautious when he could, and behaved himself. He didn't show any flaws, and Temujin had no reason to kill him even if he wanted to. Not to mention, Temujin still wants to keep this person.
As a military minister, Temujin could barely comfort himself with this method of self-deception. Moreover, after he sent out his two closest generals, Zhebie and Subotai, it was difficult for Wang Baobao to continue to be ruthless.
Jebie and Subotai may not necessarily be the two people with the strongest overall strength under Temujin, but they are definitely the two closest generals to Temujin.
When they were first born, although Jebetsu and Subotai were considered good generals, they were only super-level commanders. However, just as Su Lie has such a powerful skill as destroying a country, Zhebie and Subotai also have similar skills.
Although Zhebie and Subotai are not as comprehensively improved as Su Lie, under specialization, the improvement in one aspect is more powerful than Su Lie's improvement after taking out a certain item alone.
And over the years, with the continuous improvement of this skill, these two people have changed from the fierce generals they have become to the famous generals they are today.
Of course, the two men were not strong generals in history, but naked generals.
Zhebie's main achievements include: conquering the Jin Kingdom in the south, quelling the Western Liao Dynasty, conquering the west, and defeating the Russian and Kipchak coalition forces;
Subotai's main achievements include: expedition to Xixia, participating in the extermination of the Jin Dynasty, conquering Russia, participating in two Western Expeditions, and invading Central Europe.
The two also joined forces with an army of 20,000 to pursue the Mokomo of Khwarezm, swept the north and south of the Caucasus Mountains, and defeated the Russian coalition. They fought for 3 years, conquered 14 countries, destroyed more than 40 cities, annihilated nearly 170,000 enemies, and made more than 5,000 journeys. kilometers, achieving great results at a very small cost.
The main strategies and tactics used by the two men in combat include: pursuit warfare, ambush warfare, siege warfare, assault warfare, mobile warfare, annihilation warfare and disintegration, defeating each other, etc.
Russia is known as a fighting nation and has defeated their enemies time and time again. The Crusaders have always been arrogant in Europe, but they all fell into the hands of the Mongolian cavalry commanded by Jebe and Subotai. .
Especially Subotai, American historian Du Pai commented: "The most capable and strategic general under Genghis Khan."
Genghis Khan especially praised Subotai: "Wherever the teaching goes, solid rocks are broken into pieces, cliffs are broken through, and deep waters cut across." As long as Subutai unites the troops in combat, all attacks will be invincible and all battles will be invincible.
Subotai, reach Siberia in the north, Liaodong in the east, Kaifeng in the south, and the banks of the Danube River. Who else can do it, famous generals from ancient to modern times? He was the most extensive general in the ancient world.
If he were to face the larvae that were just born more than ten years ago, even if one were to fight two, Wang Baobao would definitely not be afraid. But facing these two people who have reached perfection, Wang Baobao would have a very difficult time even facing one of them alone, let alone facing two people at the same time.
Wang Baobao was able to barely maintain the situation, obviously because he had many strong generals under his command, while Zhebie and Subotai did not have many available people.
Zhebie and Subotai managed to bring some good news to Temujin, but in the blink of an eye Liu Yuan's situation was messed up.
Temujin had even prepared reinforcements to set off from Longcheng, but just as his reinforcements were preparing to set off, news of Liu Yuan's defeat came back, and even he himself paid for the defeat in this battle. paid the price.
This unexpected news made Temujin quite upset.
Especially when it was mentioned in the battle report that Liu Yuan's 45,000 troops actually did not defeat 20,000 people, Temujin had already scolded Liu Yuan bloody in his heart.
Of course, no matter how angry he was with Liu Yuan's performance, Temujin still had to restrain himself on the surface. He can express his anger appropriately, but Liu Yuan has died in the battle after all, and the methods of dealing with the living and the dead are always different!
For those in power, they never mind being more tolerant to some dead people!
With Liu Yuan's defeat, the grassland north of Liangzhou is destined to suffer more, and Tuo Lei's reinforcements are destined to have a hard fight by then.
Before it reached the point of full-scale war, none of the major governors of the Jin army took action, so it was naturally even more impossible for Temujin to take action.
Fight a few partial battles, fight a few small battles, and let the governors and even the emperor of both sides personally end the war. Then if one day in the future, the two sides go to full-scale war, who should be sent?
Among the Jin army, Li Xiang did not appear, and even the governor-general did not appear in person. Naturally, Temujin would not surrender his status and appear in person.
In fact, there are many famous generals in Yuan Meng, and there are endless masters of cavalry warfare. Originally, there was no need for the prince Tuo Lei to appear in person.
However, Kublai Khan has become more and more popular recently!
Especially the Murong brothers, the two of them worked together to contain Su Dingfang, keeping him from being able to use his hands, and specifically leaving opportunities for Kublai Khan to deal with the weak countries in the Western Regions, so that Kublai Khan continued to expand his territory. Such military exploits were so great that Tuo Lei, who fought nearly ten years earlier than Kublai Khan, was left behind.
Since this period of time, Tuo Lei has been unable to continue to settle down.
