Chapter 439: Genghis Khan
【The war between Song and Jin was a godsend for Mongolia.】

[This is what the Mongolian generals thought.]

【But Genghis Khan didn’t think so. 】

[The attack on the Southern Dynasty made him realize one thing: grassland annihilation warfare is completely different from siege warfare.]

[So he didn't take action, but robbed all the skilled craftsmen in the North and asked them to build siege equipment.]

[In August 1217, Genghis Khan rewarded his soldiers on the banks of the Tula River in the northern desert.]

[He imitated the official system of the Central Plains and appointed Mu Huali, whom he trusted the most, as the Grand Master and King, allowing him to take charge of the Central Plains and coordinate the war against the Jin Kingdom.]

[He didn't care about the matter of Jin anymore, he was going to the west to fight. ]

[At that time, Genghis Khan had agreed to trade with Khwarezm in the west. However, when the Mongolian caravan arrived in Khwarezm, the Khwarezmians accused them of being spies, arrested and killed 480 Mongolians, and seized their goods.]

[The Mongols sent envoys to question the situation, but they were also killed.]

[In 1218 AD, Jebe led his army to destroy the Western Liao Dynasty and captured and killed Qutlug. ]

[In 1219 AD, Genghis Khan personally led an army of to the west, heading straight for Khwarezm.]

……

On the canopy.

It is a large country limited to the Pamir Plateau in the east, the Indus River in the south, Baghdad in the west, and the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea in the north.

In an instant, it was transformed into the word "Mongolia".

……

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng looked at the vast land to the west.

"It's a bit hard to give it to the six countries like this."

"but……"

Ying Zheng was thinking in his heart.

They don’t want to live in the shadow of Qin forever!

As for the vast expanse of primeval forest in the Hexi Corridor...

That is the resource I give you!

I'm glad I didn't make you feel grateful!

"Your Majesty, Liu Dianke requests to see you."

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up!
"Let him in!"

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Emperor Wu was alert!

"This territory..."

Liu Che was convinced at a glance!
"It's the Great Yuezhi Kingdom!"

Huo Qubing's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty! Should we ..."

He gestured at his neck with his hand.

Liu Che had a black line on his forehead.

The waving of the robe sleeves created a sound of wind, and the palm landed on the forehead of the champion!
"Snapped!"

"what!"

Huo Qubing covered his forehead.

Liu Che said angrily:

"What are you thinking about!"

"War doesn't cost money!"

"My hands are itching to play in the sandbox!"

"But I've shown you something good."

……

Yanhan and Emperor He period
Liu Zhao sat on the dragon couch.

Looking up at this territory, I recall the past.

"It turns out it was them..."

……

Ji Han.

Liu, Cao and Sun looked at each other.

"In the second year of Yongyuan, the King of Yuezhi sought to marry the princess, but was defeated by Marquis Dingyuan..."

"It's them..."

……

On the canopy.

Genghis Khan sat on the white tent.

The divine spear behind him stood still in the strong wind.

He looked ahead calmly.

The army formation shaped like fish scales was pushing everything in front of it.

The heavy cavalry defeated the army.

The stone cannon destroyed the city walls.

The fire engulfed the building.

The scimitar shed blood.

The army continued to advance slowly.

Leaving behind only charred ruins.

……

[In 1220 AD, the Mongol army captured the capital of Samarkand, and King Ala-ud-din Muhammad fled to the Caspian Sea and died on a small island.]

[In 1221 AD, Prince Jalaluddin fled south, and Genghis Khan pursued him, but he returned as far as the Indus River.]

[Another Mongolian army went around the Caspian Sea, crossed the Taihe Ridge (Caucasus Mountains), and attacked the Kipchak state founded by the Turks.]

【The Kipchak is located west of the Ural Mountains and north of the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.】

[In 1222 AD, the King of the Cumans asked Russia for help.]

[In 1223 AD, the princes of southern Russia raised troops to help the Mongol army and fought a fierce battle with the Mongol army on the banks of the Arrighi River. The Russian army was annihilated and the Cumans were pacified.]

[The Mongolian army did not advance further, but returned to Pingkangli in the east. After Genghis Khan conquered the Western Regions, he set up Darughachi to govern them.]

……

{At that time, Khwarezm had 400,000 soldiers, who were as experienced in battle as the Mongols and seemed invincible.}
{But the problem is that the terrain of Central Asia is similar to that of the Mongolian Plateau, with mountains, grasslands, Gobi Desert, beaches, oases, etc., which are also suitable for Mongolian cavalry operations.}
{There are many cities in Khwarezm, such as Samarkand, Bukhara, Otrar, Khujand, etc., all of which are guarded by a large number of regular troops. As a result, there are not many troops that can conduct large-scale field operations.}
{In addition, Khwarezm was a "nouveau riche" in Central Asia, and most of its territory was recently conquered from the Seljuk, Ghur, Western Liao and other dynasties, and the people were not completely loyal to it.}
{Ethnic and religious conflicts were very prominent, and Muhammad himself was stubborn and self-willed. Therefore, in fact, his army was not at the same level as the Mongolian army in terms of combat effectiveness.}
……

Datang.

There was an unspeakable silence in the court.

"Great food..."

Li Shimin sighed in disappointment.

The disadvantage of the equal-field system is that there is not enough land to be divided.

If we can conquer Dashi...

But the two cannot be equated.

The existence of conflicts within Khwarezm does not mean that there are conflicts within the Caliphate... this is allowed!
Li Shimin suddenly discovered the blind spot.

The corners of his mouth gradually rose.

The ministers below felt a chill!
Wei Zheng suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how to remotely control it?"

"Division?"

"After three generations, will the Seven Kingdoms and Eight Kings be carried out?"

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth drooped.

It’s impossible to even think about it!

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Li Zhi watched calmly.

After swallowing up the Jin and Song dynasties, Mongolia's territory exceeded its own territory during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong.

but……

“How are you going to govern?”

Li Zhi leaned against the bed and muttered to himself.

"Conquer the world and rule the world."

“Very different.”

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
"Is that all?" Li Longji looked down upon these places.

It’s far away and difficult to manage.

Moreover, there is also Tubo in the middle.

If you want to completely control the Arabs, you must first destroy Tubo.

Otherwise, the terrain would be too long, and if Tubo made trouble, it would be broken in the middle.

The Anxi Army is an example.

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di sat in his chair, tucked his sleeves in, not moving.

He watched the Mongolian army attacking the city and suddenly said:

"record."

Zhu Gaochi leaned on the stone table and nodded with a heavy face.

Zhu Zhanji looked around from the side.

Write it down? What?
……

[In 1225 AD, Genghis Khan returned from his western expedition and conferred titles on his sons and daughters.]

……

On the canopy.

The vast Mongolian territory was divided among the youngest son, Tolui.

The lands north of the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea, including the old lands of Kangli and Kipchak, were divided among the eldest son Jochi and named the Golden Horde.

The area north of the Amu Darya River, southwest of the Ili River, across the upper reaches of the Syr Darya River, including the Pamir Mountains, the original Western Liao territory was divided into the "Second Son Chagatai" and named "Chagatai Khanate"

The area east and west of the Altai Mountains, north of the Tianshan Mountains, and southeast of Lake Balkhash was originally the Naiman territory, which was divided among the three sons of Ogedei and named the Ogedei Khanate.

……

[In 1226 AD, Xixia allied with Jin, and Genghis Khan sent troops to attack Xixia. Emperor Xianzong of Xia, Li Dewang, died of shock, and the people established his nephew, Li Xuan, as the heir.]

[In June 1227, Li Xuan surrendered and Western Xia was destroyed. ]

……

On the canopy.

Temujin, looking weak, looked at the people in front of the bed and said:

"The elite troops of the Jin Kingdom are at Tongguan, with mountains to the south and a large river to the north, making it difficult to defeat them."

"If we ask Song for permission to pass through, Song and Jin are enemies for generations, so they will surely agree to it. Then I will send troops to Tang and Deng and attack Daliang directly."

"The Jin Kingdom will certainly recruit troops to Tongguan, but with tens of thousands of troops, they will have to travel thousands of miles to help. The troops and horses are exhausted and will not be able to fight even if they arrive. We will surely be defeated."

Everyone nodded with tears in their eyes.

Temujin looked at the tent door as the setting sun slowly fell.

The sky was filled with red clouds.

"In my lifetime, I have expanded thousands of miles of territory with nine men and nine horses. This has never happened before."

"The Mongolian Empire, from south to north, from east to west, no matter where it is, it would take a year to reach the end of the journey by horseback."

"But what I am most proud of is that I have never killed a meritorious official in my life, and I have never treated a brother badly. I am confident that I have done no worse than any Han emperor in this regard."

"In my lifetime, I have destroyed more than 40 nations, conquered more than 720 ethnic groups, and traveled thousands of miles. In terms of martial arts, I am unprecedented."

A woman sat next to him, holding his rough hand and shedding tears silently.

The nephews and nieces knelt on the ground, suppressing their sobs.

Temujin turned his head and looked at the concubines, nephews, and generals who were with him.

He looked through the crowd.

I vaguely saw four figures.

They knelt on the ground and called out to themselves.

Temujin's eyes began to become cloudy.

Looking at the four blurry figures.

It was as if he was speaking to the people right in front of him.

It also seems like an instruction to the four sons who are far away in the world.

He murmured softly:

"Life is like the morning dew, it disappears in the blink of an eye. I have lived to be sixty-six years old, so there is nothing to be sad about."

"My career needs you to inherit..."

"May you all work together, respect your friends, and not change my Yasa, so that the Mongol Empire will last forever and be consolidated..."

His voice became lower and lower, and after saying the last sentence, Temujin slowly closed his eyes.

An old man kneeling in front of the bed took out a ball of pure white camel hair from his arms and placed it under Temujin's nose.

The camel's hair trembled slightly with Temujin's last breath.

Slowly, the ball of camel hair stopped shaking, and everything became completely calm.

"Hehan, come from Changshengtian, go back to Changshengtian."

……

[In October, Genghis Khan died of illness in Liupan Mountain at the age of 66]

[Before his death, he left behind the strategy of destroying the Jin Dynasty: "Use the Song Dynasty as a passage, send troops to Tang and Deng, and directly take Bian Jing." ]

[He ordered everyone to keep his death a secret and wait until the Xixia leader surrendered, then kill them all.]

After Genghis Khan died, his descendants followed his will and transported his body back to his homeland in Mongolia. They buried his body in the Qinian Valley south of the Burhan Mountain and trampled it flat with thousands of horses to leave no clues for tomb robbers.

[In his lifetime, he traveled across the world and unified Mongolia. ]

[Implementing the Thousand Household System, Establishing a Guard, and Promulgating the Great Zasa]

[It occupied the northern border of the Jin Dynasty, destroyed the Western Xia, Western Liao and Khwarezm in Central Asia, and its conquest footprints reached as far as the Black Sea coast. ]

[After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, he was posthumously named "Emperor Fatian Qiyun Shengwu" and his temple name was Taizu.]

……

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng looked gloomy.

Liu Bang looked strange.

"Puff! Ahem! Your Majesty... I wonder what you want me to see?"

"Oh my! This boy's attitude towards the world is quite similar to mine!"

Ying Zheng’s face became darker and darker!
"Suck it! Huh! Get out of here!"

"Good Le!"

Liu Bang responded simply and ran away.

Looking at Liu Bang who disappeared in the blink of an eye with an expressionless face, Ying Zheng looked at the sky again.

The more I watch, the more upset I get!
"Is this bastard really my nemesis?!"

"Tianmu! Are you kidding me?"

"Speak! Speak!"

Liu Bang, who was running down the stairs grabbing the hem of his clothes, heard the emperor's frantic questioning from behind him.

He curled his lips.

"Everything is fine."

"I'm just narrow-minded!"

……

Big man.

Liu Bang watched quietly.

He was lost in thought as he recalled the past.

"It's so similar..."

Muttering to himself.

"He really looks like me."

Lu Zhi rolled her eyes at him but didn't refute.

There are indeed some similarities in their styles of doing things and their attitudes towards life.

Could he really be the descendant of this bastard?

She looked at Liu Bang stealthily.

Could it be that the story of the Red Emperor that was made up at the beginning was real?

It’s too mysterious!

……

{Western Xia: No matter how powerful Temujin was, he still fell in my hands! After failing to defeat him six times, Temujin, who was 66 years old, died in Liupan Mountain in anger. Good luck! (dog head)}
{Then Xixia was gone, and the whole clan was exterminated (dog head)}
{According to unofficial history, there was a great earthquake in Xixia, and the Xixia people thought that God was going to destroy Xixia, so they prepared to surrender. Temujin took the opportunity to ask the Xixia princess to sleep with him.}
{While the Xixia princess was cooling Temujin's body, she bit off some unspeakable parts of his body, causing Temujin to lose too much blood. However, the Mongols kept the death a secret and buried him only after the Xixia Kingdom was destroyed... (dog head)}
{Unofficial history may not be true, but it is definitely wild enough!}
