Usurping the Mongols: My Father-in-Law is Genghis Khan

"Haha! Good! Good, good, good!"

Temujin held Zhao Shuo's wrist and came before the crowd, saying, "Come! The highest flying eagle on the grasslands, the Batel who has saved me, Temujin, twice! Tell everyone about your heroic deeds! How exactly did you rescue my daughter, Hua Zheng, whom I cherish like a pearl? And how did you save my brother, Qasar? Finally, how did you escape the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops with Hua Zheng?"

"Yes, Khan!"

Zhao Shuo replied loudly.

He thought to himself: It's done! Genghis Khan's original shares, today, I have finally successfully obtained them!

That's right, original shares!

In historical records, Temujin, with only nineteen riders left, arrived at the banks of the Baljuna River, extremely distressed. He drank muddy water with everyone and vowed that when he made a comeback in the future, he would share wealth and glory with everyone.

Later, Temujin indeed fulfilled his promise. All nineteen people, regardless of their virtue or lack thereof, enjoyed wealth and glory and were recorded in history.

This is the "Oath of the Baljuna River" that has been passed down through the ages.

Today, there are only eighteen people left following Temujin. Regardless of whether the historically recorded "Oath of the Baljuna River" will still occur, Zhao Shuo's achievements are already enough to obtain Genghis Khan's original shares.

Of course, being able to think of the words "original shares" proves that Zhao Shuo is not from this era!

His soul came from the 21st century!

Initially, when he first transmigrated and merged with the memories of that seven-year-old boy, Zhao Shuo was indeed a bit confused.

In the late Northern Song Dynasty, during the Jingkang Incident, the Jurchens abducted a large number of Zhao Song's imperial family members north, including Zhao Shuo's ancestors.

Because Zhao Shuo's ancestors were descendants of Zhao Kuangyin, not Zhao Guangyi, and belonged to a distant branch of the imperial family, the Jurchens did not guard them so strictly. Zhao Shuo's ancestors found an opportunity to escape the Jurchens' control and fled to the grasslands. From then on, this branch has always married Mongolian women and multiplied to this day.

Whether it was the benefit of transmigration, the advantage of being of mixed Mongolian and Han blood, or the inheritance from his ancestor Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Shuo discovered that this body had extremely astonishing potential in terms of martial strength.

Stamina, endurance, agility, and eyesight were all far above his peers.

As he grew older, these physical attributes of his were still rapidly increasing naturally. Zhao Shuo felt that his whole body was filled with energy, as if he had inexhaustible strength! With just astonishing speed, strength, courage, and the daily training of the Mongols, he already had considerable combat power!

So, what should Zhao Shuo do?

Find a way to return to the Song Dynasty?

Forget it. If the Song Dynasty was so easy to get along in, would Zhao Shuo's ancestors have remained on the grasslands for over a hundred years?

Moreover, the Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs. How could Zhao Shuo's advantage in martial strength be brought into play? What's more, since the Jingkang Incident, the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty has become increasingly conservative. How much discrimination would someone like Zhao Shuo, who had mixed with an unknown amount of foreign blood, receive upon returning to the Great Song? He might not even be able to protect himself, let alone reverse the fate of the Chinese nation's demise.

Go to the Jin Dynasty? That's even more impossible. After the Jingkang humiliation, the feud between the Jin Dynasty and the Zhao family had reached its peak. How could Zhao Shuo possibly surrender to the Jin and become a dog for the Jurchens?

Relatively speaking, in this era, the Mongols and the Chinese not only had no grievances but also had a common enemy with the Chinese—the Jurchens. Zhao Shuo mingling with the Mongols was a viable option.

Even from a metaphysical point of view, the Mongols' fortune was at its peak in this era. What Zhao Shuo should do is to use the power of the Mongols to strengthen himself, rather than directly confront them.

If Zhao Shuo could really develop his own power by relying on the Mongols, he might not be unable to become a king or emperor in the future and destroy the Jin and Song dynasties.

At that time, Zhao Shuo could completely integrate the Mongols and the Han people to create a truly super empire spanning the Eurasian continent.

The four thousand miles of rivers and mountains in the three continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa are enough for the Han and Mongolian peoples to gallop!

But no matter what, Zhao Shuo's top priority is to improve his position, reputation, and strength within the Temujin group.

Over the past ten years, Zhao Shuo's martial arts have become even more terrifying after being tempered on the battlefield. In terms of wearing armor and wielding weapons, he is no less than any of Temujin's fierce generals. The merits he has earned with every slash and thrust have also made him one of the most prominent generals under Temujin.

Now, the Baljuna River is the best place for Zhao Shuo to build his reputation!

Immediately, in front of Temujin and the meritorious officials of the Baljuna River, Zhao Shuo narrated in detail how he rescued Hua Zheng, how he escaped the enemy's pursuit, and how he incidentally saved Qasar.

Zhao Shuo said loudly, "At the beginning, the Khan was kind and did not see through Wang Han's wolfish ambitions, which I was deeply worried about. Therefore, I not only had my warriors actively prepare for battle but also distributed all the remaining beans in my hands, allowing the warhorses to feast on the beans and accumulate physical strength."

Mongolian horses are the most hardworking horses in the world, and they can march and fight even when eating the worst quality thatch.

But without a doubt, Mongolian horses are still horses no matter how hardworking they are, and they must follow the natural instincts of living beings. The difference between eating grass and eating beans is like the difference between people eating grain and eating meat, which has a great impact on the warhorses' physical strength.

Temujin nodded slightly and said, "So, you were prepared for a rainy day and fed the warhorses beans to strengthen their physical strength. By the time of the Khalzan Sandak battle, the physical strength of the warhorses under your command was at its peak."

"That's indeed the case. The Khan has always regarded my four thousand troops as the final reserve team. Therefore, until I volunteered to rescue Princess Hua Zheng and the Fourth Prince, the physical strength of those warhorses was still undiminished. Relying on fast horses and heavy swords, and the soldiers giving their lives, I didn't spend too much effort to rescue the princess and the Fourth Prince."

Although Zhao Shuo said it easily, no one present dared to underestimate him.

If you can do it, you go!

Who didn't participate in the Khalzan Sandak battle? Who doesn't know the combat power of Wang Han's army?

The Mongolian's originally recognized number one fierce general, Temujin's sworn brother, Wedar, died in the charge during this Khalzan Sandak battle!

It is entirely conceivable that even if Zhao Shuo was well prepared and the warhorses had been conserving their strength, how much of a sea of corpses and blood would he have had to fight through to successfully rescue Hua Zheng and Tore from Wang Han's army of fifty thousand?

"That was quite difficult. Only the most elite warriors on the grasslands can do this." Temujin nodded slightly and said, "Then what? Even if you can successfully rescue Hua Zheng and Tore from the encirclement, how did you escape the battlefield? And how did you get rid of Wang Han's pursuers?"

"Zhao Shuo told us to go first, and he led two hundred warriors to personally cover the rear," Hua Zheng interjected.

Thinking of Zhao Shuo's heroic posture in rescuing her from the midst of thousands of troops and his boldness in letting her go first to personally cover the rear, Hua Zheng's eyes were filled with tenderness as she looked at Zhao Shuo.

"A good man! Responsible! Straightforward enough! I really wish I had fought alongside Zhao Shuo-anda back then!" Jochi was filled with longing and felt honored.

Temujin nodded slightly and said, "Zhao Shuo is brave and good at fighting, and he does have the ability to temporarily block the pursuers, but what about after that? Didn't the Keraites pursue relentlessly?"

Zhao Shuo said, "After that, Wang Han's army certainly pursued relentlessly. In order to get rid of the pursuers, I chose to set up an ambush in the Black Pine Forest and launched a counterattack."

"Black Pine Forest?" Jebe looked astonished and said, "That forest is not big, it doesn't seem to be able to hide many ambush troops."
