The rise of the prince

Chapter 810 The Unification of the Grasslands Is Just around the corner

The vast grassland has no boundaries, and the sky is pure and white. Clouds cast dark shadows to cover hundreds of miles of land, like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, covering the grassland.

Under the shadows, a huge cavalry troop crossed the hillside, stepped on the grass, and slowly marched towards the sunset. The flags fluttered, the goshawks circled in the sky, and the horseshoes rumbled. The huge team linked from the horizon to the horizon on the other side.

The warriors held their heads high and galloped proudly, a grand occasion never seen before on the grassland.

The sky of the grassland has long been different from before. After more than ten years of changes, the now fragmented grassland, from the west of the Onan River to the Great Xianbei Mountain, has surrendered to the feet of Genghis Khan Temujin, and the Great Mongolia has been freed from the enslavement of the Jin Kingdom. , completely become a brand new big country.

Now Temujin's army will cross the Onan River and attack his last enemy on the grassland, the Naiman tribe, the most powerful tribe in the west of the grassland.

If this conquest is successful, he will be able to complete the eternal feat of unifying the grassland, relieve his worries, and lead the entire grassland to fight to the death with their feuding Jin Kingdom!

Temujin was an extremely contradictory person.

He was magnanimous and tolerant at times, as if he had given up on Jebe who nearly killed him on the battlefield.

Sometimes he must retaliate, and he is cruel and cruel, such as killing almost all the Tatar tribesmen who killed his father, as long as they are higher than the wheel, they will all be executed.

Sometimes he is very talented, and he is always superior in strategy. For example, in the war with the Kingdom of Jin, when he flattened all the tribes on the grassland, he used a strategy of one faction to fight the other.

Sometimes it is very irrational, and it is completely brave.For example, his expedition to the west was just for the sake of breath, because Khwarazmo killed his merchants and missions, so he insisted on marching west regardless of the fact that he was still at war with the Kingdom of Jin.

Many conspiracy theorists in later generations said that he wanted to fight Huarazmo from the beginning, so he deliberately planted spies in the caravan.

This kind of statement is completely a conspiracy theory without any basic geographical knowledge. Not to mention the real confrontation between Temu and the Kingdom of Jin at that time, it is said that the journey from the Mongolian Plateau to Khwarazmo would take a year for merchants Half!

Besides, the middle road had to pass through many dangerous canyons in the Xinjiang region of later generations. It was very dangerous and difficult for the army to march. If Temujin hadn't been dazzled by anger, he would never have taken such a big risk to attack Khwarazmo.

Furthermore, Khwarazmo was the overlord of Central Asia at that time, with a population of tens of millions. How many troops did Genghis Khan have?
People in Central Asia say that there are millions of people, which is impossible. Half of the millions of people will starve to death on the road.

However, Chinese, Japanese and Mongolian scholars believe that the army should be between 20 and 20, and no more than [-], which is basically consistent with the historical records.

That is to say, Temujin led 10,000+ people to trek across mountains and rivers, taking a year and a half for ordinary people, and plunged headlong into a country with a population of tens of millions.

Obviously, this is not a rational decision. The anger of the merchants and envoys being killed by the Khwarizmites has dazzled him, and he is extremely eager for revenge.

But Temujin almost fell. After all, Khwarazmi is the overlord of Central Asia, with a population of tens of millions, and it is possible to organize an army of millions.

Fortunately, at that time, Khwarazmo's internal struggle was very fierce, coupled with political and religious differences, and religious struggles were also very intense. Various coincidences and the heroic fighting of Temujin and his soldiers led to the victory of the Western Expedition.

Therefore, Temujin's evaluation in the eyes of some military masters in later generations is not the highest level. Although his conquests were terrifying, he was too impulsive.

In other words, he has been taking revenge all his life, first for his father, for his grandfather, revenge against the Tatar Ministry, revenge against the Kingdom of Jin, and then revenge against Khwarazmo in a fit of anger. Expedition to Central Asia.

He has never been the kind of person that a gentleman can take revenge for ten years, but if you provoke me today, tomorrow I will kill your whole family, no matter what method is used, regardless of the cost.

Such a person is undoubtedly terrifying, especially when he has the entire grassland army under him.

The army was marching, and Temujin's camp was a large mobile tent with wheels fixed underneath, which needed more than a dozen horses to pull it together.

He also brought his concubines in the big tent. There are hundreds of concubines in Genghis Khan's life alone.

At this moment, someone outside begged to see him, and Temujin let him in. It turned out to be the eldest son Jochi.

"Father Khan, good news. Someone from the front reported just now that the Jebe striker defeated most of Taiyang Khan, and Taiyang Khan fled westward!" Jochi said excitedly.

"Okay!" Temujin laughed happily. This is really great news. The Chinese army is still on the road and the striker won first. How could it make people unhappy.

"Sure enough, I saw Jebe right. At the beginning, I saw that he was a hungry wolf, but I didn't expect him to be more than that, he was still a tiger!"

"Father Khan's vision is comparable to anyone!" Shu Chi flattered him quickly.

"Hahaha" Temujin laughed loudly, "Where is Jebe's army now?"

"Oh, he is recuperating. He wrote in his letter that after two days of recuperating, he will continue to pursue Taiyang Khan and dedicate his head to Father Khan."

"En." Temujin nodded: "Recovering means that his men and horses have suffered a lot of injuries. In this way, you take a thousand elites and each of them rides two horses. Don't follow the army and catch up with Jebe quickly. Need manpower.

Also, although you are the prince now, when you get there, you must obey Zhe Bi's command, understand. "

"Yes! Father Khan, don't worry, I understand what to do." Jochi agreed, and then continued: "Also, Father Khan, someone came to the house just now, saying that the people of Jingguo agreed to our deal."

"Who promised?"

"Their coach, Li Xingzhou, and the envoy said that when they saw them, Jing Guo's army had already passed through Shanhaiguan, and the entire Jin Kingdom panicked."

"Hiss." Temujin gasped, "It seems that this Li Xingzhou is really not simple, but your sister is smarter, she has long thought that the people of Jingguo would agree, so that we can take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Alas, how much would Arihaibeji have if he was a boy. " he said with emotion.

"Father Khan, what should we do?"

Temujin stood up and paced in the big tent, walked for a while and said: "Tell the person who came, tell him to go back and tell your uncle Kasar, let him send Belgutei to lead a thousand people to harass the Jin people at the border, but don't follow them. They are desperate.

We don't have to work hard for Jingguo people, but we must continue to do business with Jingguo people, which is the best. "

"Yes, I'll let someone go back and tell you, Father Khan, I'm resigning." Shu Equator said.

"Well, you go, do your job well." Temujin waved his son to step back, and sat quietly in front of the big tent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jebe's victory means that he will be able to clear the grassland before this winter, when the entire grassland will be brought under the rule of the Great Mongol Kingdom, and his goal will begin to change.
