In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 530 Losing to the Song Dynasty, the clan may be exterminated

After a while, everything was quiet in front of the city. The two sides were facing each other, and Hedahai was slowly retreating with his people.

He failed to rush into the city, so this time it was considered a failure.

But he also prepared a back-up plan and immediately had someone shoot a letter into the city.

Kublai Khan in the city quickly got the letter and came to the city.

The letter was written by Tolegena. She said that she followed the example of Emperor Zhao Yurui of the Song Dynasty and killed all the opponents at the Khuliltai Conference. Now the Great Khan of Mongolia is Guyu. Suddenly Bilie, you know the current affairs and are a hero. Please surrender.

Kublai Khan was not a fool. He looked at the two thousand cavalry brought by Hedahai.

Ask Heda Hai to come forward and speak.

There are also Hongwu cannons built by the Mongolian army and the Song army on Lai City, and there are so many of them, there is one cannon every 100 steps on average.

He Dahai didn't dare to join him at this time, so he could only let his other brother take over.

In fact, the Mongols spent most of their time sleeping in and out of battle, and Ogodei even slept with his father Temujin's wife.

Kublai Khan spoke to him across the moat.

After listening to this, Soluheteni was speechless for a long time. He didn't expect that this woman, Nathoregena, could do such a crazy thing.

"All three were killed and we are receiving their army." Saban lied to him.

Kublai Khan remained calm on the surface, but rumors circulating outside suddenly flashed through his mind. Some people said that Zhao Yurui brought Soluheteni to Lin'an and slept with her. After sleeping with her, they said that she was good at martial arts.

The people of Song Dynasty sent back his mother Luheteni and his younger brother Alibuge successively, but poor Alibuge had just died at the Khuliltai Conference.

Completely disregarding the life and death of Mongolia.

As soon as Saban heard the cannon fire, he ran away quickly.

"That prostitute, Brother Tulie, is so heartbroken and crazy for her son. Mongolia will be destroyed in her hands. Just wait and see. Someone comes and starts shooting."

He returned to his house angrily and quickly found his mother to instigate Luheteni.

"Don't panic, just guard Lai City."

"As long as these three people are still alive, we will have an army of more than 100,000 on our side."

At that time, Tuo Lei had been in charge of the country's regency for several years, and he had a large number of troops. He had the most elite soldiers and horses under Temujin, and he could overthrow the country at any time. However, for the sake of the unity of Mongolia, Tuo Lei still did not do so, and eventually let him Wokuotai ascended the throne of Khan.

The current situation is dozens of times worse than before. The Song army is strong and invincible. The fleet and infantry have reached southern Persia and are gradually advancing north.

Kublai Khan sneered: "Song troops are gathered here in Persia, and a powerful enemy is close by. At this time, you are still coaxing among yourself."

Nowadays, Wokuotai competes with Meng Ge first, and after failing, he kills him, which is simply crazy.

But being slept with by one's own tribe is different from being slept with by an outsider.

"Show me the head?" Kublai Khan asked.

Soluheteni slowly analyzed: "Tregona must have failed. If we kill the three of them, we will definitely come with their heads and the army."

As long as these three people are around, Guyu, the Khan, will not be able to sit still.

"Where are Batu, Meng Ge and Wu Lianghetai?" Kublai Khan knew that only these three people had heavy troops.

After Ogedai became the Khan, he instigated Luheteni to voluntarily hand over many of his elite subordinates and distributed them to several of Ogedai's sons as a sign of surrender, and Tulegena was a trapped beast. In this case, , obviously the situation is not good, but still want to kill them.

"Only when Mongolia is united can we fight against the Song army."

So Kublai Khan felt that the Song Dynasty had a good relationship with them and he could try to ask for help.

Many men and horses in Lai City were taken out by Meng Ge. There are only about 10,000 people in the city now. Kublai Khan is afraid that Hedahai will turn around and lead a large army to fight.

"..." Saban turned around with a confused look on his face.

"Song people?" Luheteni shook his head, maybe it was unreliable.

This was said so clearly that of course no one in Rai City dared to say it publicly, but within Mongolia, people often made fun of it.

At this time, Torrego's internal coaxing was really incomprehensible.

"I have met Zhao Yurui." Luheteni suddenly said, his face turned red as he said this.

"Where are your eldest brother Meng's troops?"

Kublai Khan estimated that in one or two years at most, when the Song army was fully prepared, they would go to war against them.

He knew that Kublai Khan would not surrender until Meng Ge and Batu died.

"Eastern shore of the Caspian Sea."

Soluheteni is the backbone of the Tuo Lei Department. Many important decisions are made by her. Meng Ge is also obedient in front of her.

At that time, Tuo Lei could actually compete for the throne, and his subordinates also persuaded him to take action on the Khulil Platform.

Kublai Khan hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "There are only 10,000 troops in the city. Should we ask for help from the Song army?"

"Wulianghetai seems to be also on the east bank of the Caspian Sea. Batu's army is closer, on the west bank of the Isha Mu River."

In fact, the people of the Song Dynasty had a good relationship with them in the past few years, and the two sides had frequent trade. Kublai Khan often went to Heping City and met Liu Zheng several times.

Kublai Khan's face turned gloomy as he watched them go away. He never expected that the Mongol Empire, which once dominated the world, would become what it is now.

Boom, soon, the sound of cannons sounded from the city head. Hedahai had no choice but to retreat far away with his troops and horses, and then think of a solution.

Kublai Khan felt a little upset inside.

But Luheteni still said: "Zhao Yurui is very different in his actions and words. You can't even imagine what he is thinking."

"If we have a civil war in Mongolia, assuming you are Zhao Yurui, you must take sides. Who will you help?"

Kublai Khan thought for a while: "Batu and Big Brother have strong and elite troops. If I were Zhao Yurui, I would definitely help Guiyou and attack Batu and Big Brother first."

"It's good that you can think like this, so from now on, you must be careful about the Song people." Luheteni sighed: "We lose to Guyu, even if we die, our people will survive."

"If we are conquered by the Song people, with Zhao Yurui's cruelty, we will be in danger of annihilation."

"So no matter what, we must not compromise or cooperate with the Song people, let alone believe every word Zhao Yurui says."

When Kublai Khan heard this, he said angrily: "Such a simple truth, but that old guy Tu Lege can't understand it. Great Mongolia was harmed by her."

After coming out of Soluheteni's room, Kublai Khan first opened the city gate and sent troops to drive away Hedahai. When he found that the people in Hedahai were far away, he summoned the surrounding people to enter the city and transported a large amount of food into the city.

Fortunately, Lai City could still take the waterway to the outside of the city. He tried to send a boat out to contact the Batu troops in Sarai City and get their support.

Kublai Khan began a comprehensive defense at the same time.

Batu's ship, thousands of miles away, finally docked.

The Ishim River is more than 300 miles wide. More than a dozen people on their boat took turns rowing. It took more than a day and a night to finally reach the other side safely. Everyone was exhausted.

In the past, Batu, Meng Ge and others thought that the bigger and longer the river, the better, which would be beneficial to livestock farming and life. But now they find that it is really not good for the river to be too big.

Everyone came ashore one after another. Standing on the bank, there was no sign of soldiers, horses or military camps around. Batu knew that his position was wrong. But there was no way. The Ishimu River was so big, and they escaped at night. They had no choice but to look in the wrong direction in desperation. Now they were looking for his army.

Batu's eldest son Salida stayed behind to guard the city of Sarai, while his eldest brother Orda waited for him by the Ishim River with his army.

Batu arranged it more carefully.

Now there is no army in sight, and everyone is looking at each other. The key is that there are no horses. Everyone has to walk and look for their own army in three directions.

As Hedahai expected, Chagatai's son Badar was also on their boat.

Brother Meng wanted to find his own army, Wu Lianghetai also wanted to find his own army, and so did Batu.

Batu looked at Baidu'er and said, "You and Wu Liang join forces, and then immediately return to Xi Yali. First, defeat the Kudu Tiger, recapture Potala City, and consolidate our rear."

Batu will retake Jiyali and Bolan Plains, which is the rear area of ​​Sarai City.

Sarai City is located on the natural barrier of the Volga River, which can block the army coming from the east. As long as the Mongolian army manages Xiyali and Bolan well, it can get a steady stream of troops and resources, including food and grass.

"No." Baidaer agreed immediately.

"After retaking Fangli, you raise your troops to the south and west and continue to conquer other kingdoms. We need their resources and get a steady stream of troops and food from them. Don't massacre cities again."

"I will guard the city of Salai, and you and Meng Ge will create a rear area for us." Batu's strategic level is quite high, and he convinced everyone present with his words.

"Meng Ge went back to run Damascus and Rai City."

"Rai City is relatively close to the Song Army. If you cannot hold it, you can give up and retreat to Damascus to manage the Golan Heights. It is also a natural defense front line and is not friendly to the Song Army's artillery and baggage."

Everyone was confused, aren't we at war with Guyu?

"Guiyou is just not worth a fight, but the Song army will definitely add insult to injury. If it were you, Zhao Yurui, who would you fight first? Who would you help?" Batu said.

Everyone suddenly realized that the Song army could either sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, or help Guiyu conquer the capital first.

After the few people agreed on their strategy, they separated and walked alone to find their own troops.

But it is not difficult. There are Mongolian forces nearby, and many herdsmen guard this area, because there is the Caspian Sea on the left and the Ishim River on the right, both of which are rich in water and grass resources. As long as you find herdsmen, you can find horses.

Batu took his younger brothers Bie'erge, Banxi and one of his confidants Qianhu forward, and couldn't help crying as they walked.

The second son Tuotuohan came out with him. He had just cut off the rear for them and led his troops to push forward. He didn't know whether he was dead or not.

Other confidants suffered heavy casualties, and this revenge must be avenged.

He went on two western expeditions, and the combined losses were not as heavy as this one.

When Torrego got it into his hands, he was determined to cut it into pieces.

The four of them were lucky. They didn't go far when they saw a Mongolian tent. They asked if it was from the Chagatai tribe. No matter what, the four of them grabbed six horses because there were only six horses on site. They got on the horses. Just run.

It was about a hundred miles away from them.

Stretching armies were stationed on the four banks of the Ishim River.

Batu's eldest brother Orda was in the camp looking at the documents, which were all written in Chinese characters.

Orda didn't like the Han army before, but since the Song army opened trade with Batu, he felt that many products of the Song people were useful, and he became more and more interested in them, and started to study Chinese characters and Chinese culture.

When he woke up this morning, he kept feeling like his eyelids were twitching, and he always felt that something was wrong.

"Report" At this moment, someone outside suddenly reported urgently.

"Come in."

A sentry rode in and knelt down: "Our sentry at a high place saw tens of thousands of troops coming from the northwest, and they lit beacon fires."

It turned out that Orda had sent out sentries at a high place so that he could see the vast plains more than ten miles away. Once he saw a large group of troops, he would immediately light a beacon fire.

"How far is it from us?" Or'er replied and stood up.

"About thirty miles."

"The horn, gather the troops and prepare to meet the enemy."

"Woo!" In the camp where O'er answered, the horn sounded loudly.

Coming from the northwest was Guyu's 50,000-strong army.

Guyu also traveled day and night, but he had to go around the north side of the Ishimu River. The Ishimu River was too big, with a length of more than 600 miles from north to south and a maximum width of more than 300 miles from east to west.

His soldiers and horses passed around the highest point, and despite traveling day and night, they had just approached Orda. Fortunately, Batu did not come back at this time.

But Or'erda and Batu both prepared sentinels. The sentries discovered them more than a hundred miles away, but were killed by them. But Or'erda also prepared secret sentries and hid in high places. When they saw the large group of people, they immediately The beacon was lit.

Now Guyuk's surprise attack turned into a forceful attack.

Guyou was not in a hurry. By the time his troops arrived in front of Orda's large formation, Orda's 30,000 troops were already in good formation and ready.

Or'er replied that he was not afraid of the other side. Their troops were all Batu's subordinates who were the best at fighting.

"Jia" Guiyu flew out from the other side, approaching quickly, holding a flag, as if he wanted to tell them something.

Orda's son Keqi picked up his bow and arrow and wanted to shoot, but Orda stretched out his hand to hold it down.

Here comes King Tasi, the grandson of Mu Huali.

Orda was still relatively familiar with Tasi. He hesitated and rode forward. The two were less than ten steps apart, and neither of them had any guards.

"Tasi, what do you want to do?"

Tasi sighed: "Something happened in Khuliltai. The whereabouts of Meng Ge, Batu and others are unknown. Others were killed and captured. Or'er replied that you are the eldest son of Jochi. You were supposed to inherit the vast territory. , the city of Salai in Batu should be yours.”

Tasi came up and persuaded him to surrender, and said that as long as Or'er agreed to surrender, Batu's territory would belong to him in the future.

Orda was the eldest son of Jochi, but it was he who took the initiative to let Batu inherit Jochi's territory.

Because he is self-aware, in terms of ability and reputation, he is invincible in commanding troops and fighting in battles, and Batu is far superior to him.

Throughout history, the two brothers lived in peace, helped each other, and never blushed.

Batu gave him a fiefdom, and also allowed his descendants to establish their own White Horde Khanate, which is quite worthy of this eldest brother.

Sure enough, after hearing this, O'erda almost didn't hesitate: "Do you want Mongolia to be torn apart?"

"I haven't seen Batu, so don't even think about entering Sarai City."

"Batu may be dead." Tasi said deliberately.

"You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die. If you kill Batu, Sarai City will be at odds with you."

When Tasi heard this, he knew that there was no hope of persuading him to surrender. He looked at Or'er coldly and replied, "Then we can only meet on the battlefield."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
