Zhao Tai was shocked after hearing what the Mongolian general said. He didn't expect that he actually killed Wo Kuotai's son Kuo Duan.
When this news spreads, the world will be shocked, but it will definitely trigger crazy revenge from the Mongols.
Zhao Tai poisoned Tuo Lei to death, and now he killed Kuo Duan. From now on, whether Mongolia's Wokuotai family is in charge or Tuo Lei's family is the Khan, they will never end it with him.
Zhao Tai couldn't help squatting down to check, then looked at the Mongolian prisoners, and asked in a deep voice: "What is your name, and what position do you hold?"
The general who just heard the words lowered his head and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Zhao Tai raised his eyebrows, stood up, and said coldly: "If anyone else speaks first, I will kill you."
The general's body trembled. He couldn't guarantee whether the other people would betray him, so he could only whisper: "My name is Zhang Hongji, and I hold the position of Qianhu."
"Zhang Hongji?" This name made Zhao Tai think of another celebrity. Thinking that his opponents this time were mainly Mongolian cavalry and the troops of Hebei warlord Zhang Rou and Shi Tianze, Zhao Tai couldn't help asking: "Zhang Rou, are you who?"
The general's body trembled slightly, "Zhang Rou is my father!"
"Haha!" Zhao Tai was quite happy and asked the identities of several other people. They were all officers under Zhang Rou's command, so he waved his hand and said: "Take them all under custody and keep them under good supervision!"
Upon hearing the order, a group of soldiers immediately took Zhang Hongji and others away.
Wu Xian pointed at Kuo Duan's body, "Guorui, what should he do?"
Zhao Tai stared at the dead Kuo Duan, pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Mongolia is our mortal enemy, so naturally we will chop off Kuo Duan's head and send him to Kaifeng to report his merits!"
Since the two sides are mortal enemies, Zhao Tai will naturally not be polite. He knows what will happen if he falls into the hands of the Mongols, so he naturally wants to use Kuo Duan's body in exchange for benefits.
Although Zhao Tai defeated Kuo Duan on the eastern front, this victory could not change the situation between Meng and Jin.
Now as the Mongolian army breaks through the Guanhe defense line of the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom will accelerate its demise. At this time, the higher his status in the Jin Kingdom, the more Jin Kingdom's inheritance he will be able to obtain after the Jin Kingdom's demise.
Zhao Tai planned to become a king and control the territory of a province before the Jin Kingdom was destroyed. This way he could not only receive a large number of Jin Kingdom forces after the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, but also have the strength to negotiate terms with the Southern Song Dynasty.
Wu Xian had no objection to Kuo Duan's treatment. He said excitedly: "Guorui, killing Kuo Duan in this battle can be said to be an unprecedented victory!"
To be honest, Zhao Tai didn't really want Kuo Duan to die, because once Kuo Duan died, Mongolia would definitely send a general to replace Kuo Duan.
If Chagatai sends famous Mongolian generals such as Subutai and Chi Laowen, Zhao Tai will definitely not want to live in the future.
Zhao Tai did not expect that since Kuo Duan did not run away, but since he was dead, Zhao Tai could only accept this fact.
"Haha~ This battle is thanks to my brother. After this battle, my brother is famous all over the world!" Zhao Tai said with a smile.
Wu Xian waved his hand, "You planned this battle. I'm just here to take advantage. I don't dare to take credit."
Zhao Taidao: "If my brother and Wanyan Chenglin hadn't arrived in time to reinforce me and worked hard to create a fighting machine for me, the outcome of today's battle would have been unpredictable. Brother, don't be too modest!"
Wu Xian smiled and was very satisfied with Zhao Tai's words, "This is a battle, but Zhang Rou ran away, and Shi Tianze is still outside Xuzhou City. The Mongolian army from the west will attack soon, and we must pursue it." The defeated army must completely eliminate the threat to the east in order to withstand the attack of the main force of the Mongolian army.”
Zhao Taishen agreed, "Brother's words are reasonable. Let's leave some troops to collect the prisoners and clean up the battlefield. Brother, will we immediately pursue the defeated army to the north? I will lead my troops to attack Xuzhou."
Wu Xian nodded, "Okay, I'll pack up and pursue you immediately."
Wuxian crossed the Yellow River to the north to pursue the defeated troops who fled back to Shandong. Zhao Tai left a small number of troops to clear the battlefield and guard the prisoners, and then led the army to Xuzhou overnight.
Zhang Rou saw Kuo Duan rushing towards the Jin army. He hurriedly pulled his horse back to rescue him, but soon discovered that Kuo Duan was crazy and refused to listen to advice. In order to save his life, he could only flee with his subordinates.
Zhang Rou did not dare to go to Xuzhou, so she led her defeated troops across the ice and fled back to Shandong.
This time the Mongolian army's defeat was different from the past, because the Jin army also had cavalry, so they could only run wildly and could not retreat calmly.
A hundred miles southwest of Pi County, in the wilderness, the defeated Mongolian army, infantry and cavalry, mingled together and fled north in a hurry.
"We're catching up again! Run!" A burst of exclamation sounded from the rear of the defeated soldiers, and the defeated soldiers who had been chased for two days suddenly cursed in their hearts.
Zhang Rou dismounted and fled. When he looked back, he saw the Jin cavalry coming up again. Their spears stabbed, their swords flew, and they slashed the lagging Mongolian army from behind.
At this time, the Mongolian soldiers who were exhausted from being chased saw the cavalry coming at a gallop. Many of them wished they had an extra pair of legs and cried in despair as they were chased.
Zhang Rou turned her head and saw the Jin Army cavalry, and couldn't help but curse in her heart, "Zhi Niang thief, after chasing for two days, they have reached Shandong. I want to kill them all!"
The Jin army's cavalry horses were galloping. The cavalrymen held horse poles and kept galloping, stabbing the Mongolian army to death from the back.
"I lost all my valuables!" Seeing this, Zhang Rou hurriedly roared.
The Mongolian army fled and threw away things. Not only did they throw away their armor and weapons, they also threw away all the gold, silver, jewelry, and copper coins they were carrying.
This move worked. The Jin army chasing after them saw the scattered gold, silver, armor and weapons, and immediately began to fight for it.
At this time, a pair of cavalrymen came galloping over. Wu Xian saw this and roared loudly: "No looting, continue to pursue. Anyone who disobeys the order will be subject to military law!"
Guaizima didn't recognize him, but the soldiers of the Wuwei Army looked up and saw Wuxian. When they saw that it was their own Jiedushi, they could only pick up their weapons and launch a pursuit.
When Wuxian pursued him into Shandong, Shi Tianze outside Xuzhou City had already received news of Kuaduan's defeat.
When he learned that Zhao Tai was leading troops towards Xuzhou, Shi Tianze made a prompt decision and ordered the Mongolian troops to break out, but Heda naturally would not allow him to withdraw calmly.
The Xuzhou Jin Army immediately launched a tsunami attack on the Mongolian camp. Shi Tianze's troops and horses were restrained, and he only escaped from the camp with Qianqi overnight and fled directly back to Shandong.
When Zhao Tai led his troops to Xuzhou, the fighting outside the city had ended. Except for Shi Tianze and a thousand cavalry who escaped from the 10,000 Mongolian troops, the remaining 9,000 were either killed or made prisoners.
At this time, Zhao Tai was riding fast. When he was approaching Xuzhou, there was a sudden roar from the front, and the cheers of the Jin army went up to the sky.
When Zhao Tai heard this, he smiled and said: "It seems we are a step late. The Xuzhou defenders have already defeated Shi Tianze."
