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

Following the Black Rider Army, the Flying Eagle Army, and the Night Owl Guard, came Zhao Shuo's three thousand most ordinary prairie Mongolian warriors, who were also the strongest light cavalry of this era.

Although, like other prairie warriors, they armed themselves by distributing spoils of war, they usually had to pay taxes and bring their own rations to fight with Zhao Shuo in times of war.

However, if their families were in difficulty and could not meet Zhao Shuo's requirements for their equipment, Zhao Shuo would provide them with equipment.

Moreover, Zhao Shuo would provide them with compensation: ten sheep for the family of those crippled in battle, and twenty sheep plus a horse for the family of those who died in battle.

Of course, this compensation was not enough to make up for the loss of being crippled or killed in battle, but there was a comparison!

The Mongolian warriors under other people had no such compensation at all.

These three thousand Mongolian warriors were full of fighting spirit and swore allegiance to Zhao Shuo!

In this way, all the troops were inspected, and Zhao Shuo was very satisfied.

He was preparing to make a speech and announce a special meal today to boost the morale of the soldiers.

However, just at this moment, suddenly four cavalrymen galloped from afar.

"Son-in-law!"

Zhao Shuo recognized the leader. He used to be his subordinate, named Muhelian Te, one of the ten attendants that Su Lun took to the Kheshig Army.

Obviously, Muhelian Te was here to convey Genghis Khan's decree to Zhao Shuo!

What happened?

Was he preparing to officially start a war with the Jin Dynasty?

Zhao Shuo's eyes were deep. According to the normal development of the original history, the formal war between the Jin and Mongol Empires would be two years later.

"There is no war with the Jin Dynasty."

Muhelian Te greeted Zhao Shuo and said, "The Jin Dynasty's envoy has already entered the country and wants to see Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan wants you to go to the Golden Tent as soon as possible."

Zhao Shuo frowned slightly: "What is the Jin Dynasty's envoy here for? Haven't we already fallen out with the Jin Dynasty? Genghis Khan even scolded the Jin Emperor in front of the envoy. What is there to talk about."

Muhelian Te said: "Genghis Khan is also very puzzled, so he summoned all the chiliarchs and above to gather at the Golden Tent and meet the Jin Dynasty's envoy together to see what the Jin Emperor wants to do."

"Okay, I'll pack up and take all my chiliarchs over there immediately," Zhao Shuo nodded and said to Muhelian Te.

"It's not just you and the chiliarchs."

Muhelian Te said: "Genghis Khan means to let the Princess and the Little Heir go together."

The so-called Little Heir, of course, was Zhao Shuo's son, Little Zhao He.

Little Zhao He was now almost two and a half years old. He had learned to walk and was at the age of babbling. He could say whole sentences, but he often used words inappropriately and was full of childishness.

Whether it was Temujin or Börte, they both liked him very much and often sent people to pick him and Hua Zheng to the Golden Tent to enjoy the family happiness between grandparents and grandchildren.

However, Zhao Shuo planned to personally teach him how to ride and hunt when this kid got a little older.

He couldn't let Temujin and his wife spoil him too much, he had to let him experience some difficulties.

In a child's growth process, parents' encouragement and guidance, as well as growing up facing difficulties alone, are very important.

Historically, no hero has ever succeeded without going through hardships. Even if such a hero succeeds temporarily, he will fail sooner or later.

Just like Xiang Yu, he was overwhelming in the early stage, but committed suicide in Wujiang in the later stage. On the contrary, Liu Bang, from a hippie rascal to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, became more and more courageous as he was frustrated.

Too much smoothness will lead to not being able to let go of self-esteem, being self-willed, and not being able to listen to others.

Zhao Shuo hoped that his son would face some setbacks and difficulties while receiving love and encouragement.

Of course, this time Temujin had both public and private intentions, and wanted to take the opportunity to see his eldest daughter and little grandson, and Zhao Shuo would not stop him.

That afternoon, he took Hua Zheng, Little Zhao He, all the centurions and above under his command, and a hundred guards, and headed towards Temujin's Golden Tent.

Ten days later, they arrived at the royal court.

Genghis Khan's generals arrived one after another, and it took less than ten days for almost all the Mongolian nobles to gather.

The reason why it was said to be almost was because the son-in-law An Chen, who inherited three thousand households, was missing.

This son-in-law An Chen was the younger brother of Temujin's wife, Börte, and came from the Hongjila tribe. He had a quiet nature and liked to travel and play. It seemed that he had gone out to travel. Genghis Khan's envoy could not notify him, so he could not arrive in time.

Although An Chen was called a son-in-law, he did not marry Temujin's sisters or daughters.

However, because of Börte's relationship, Temujin announced that An Chen would inherit three thousand households, and his descendants, men would marry princesses, and women would marry princes, and marry the Golden Family for generations. Therefore, the Mongols called him An Chen, the son-in-law.

It didn't matter if he didn't come, anyway, the son-in-law An Chen had a quiet nature, and even if he came, he wouldn't have much effect.

Three days later, a team of two hundred Jin Dynasty envoys arrived at Temujin's royal court.

Of course, Temujin would not be polite to the Jin Dynasty's envoy and did not go out to greet him.

"Temujin, you haven't paid your respects to the envoy of the Superior Kingdom. Do you know your crime?"

The Jin Dynasty's envoy, Pusan ​​Natan Chu, was the son of Pusan ​​Duan, the Right Chancellor of the Jin Dynasty. He was about twenty-four or five years old. He was very rude after seeing Temujin, and directly put on the airs of an envoy of the Superior Kingdom, demanding that Temujin salute him.

"Bold!"

"Looking for death!"

"How dare you be rude to Genghis Khan!"

"Idiot, do you really think it's still decades ago? What kind of Heavenly Dynasty can the Jin Dynasty be called now?"

… …

The Mongolian generals scolded one after another.

After the voices of the generals gradually subsided, Temujin smiled indifferently and said, "There is no need to mention the words Heavenly Dynasty anymore. Tell me, what is Wanyan Yongji sending you here for this time?"

Pusan ​​Natan Chu looked at the noisy Mongols around him, raised his head, and said with an arrogant arc on the corner of his mouth: "My Emperor asked me to send you a gift."

"What gift?"

"It's on the big cart outside. You'll know when you come with me to see it."

The Jin Dynasty's envoy, Pusan ​​Natan Chu, hooked the corner of his mouth and said mysteriously.

This time, the Jin Dynasty's envoy team also brought more than a dozen large carts.

Temujin led more than a hundred Mongolian nobles, and Pusan ​​Natan Chu together, came to the outside of the Golden Tent, to those Jin Dynasty carts.

"Uncover it!"

As Pusan ​​Natan Chu gave an order, the curtain tightly covering the Jin Dynasty's carts was lifted, revealing the "gift" on it.

At the moment of seeing that "gift", the Mongolian nobles, and Temujin, and even Zhao Shuo, were all stunned.

After being stunned for two seconds, everyone present was furious!

Because, what was on the high frame of that carriage? What kind of gift was that? That was clearly… …!
