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

Duji Sizhong fled.

His idea wasn't really a problem.

However, Duji Sizhong would never have dreamed that his escape would bring even greater losses to the Jin people.

… …

Leaving aside Duji Sizhong, let's talk about Zhao Shuo's side.

After nearly three hours of bloody battle, as dawn was about to break, the 12,000 Mongolian troops finally completely cleared out the Wuyue Camp and captured more than 6,000 prisoners.

According to the old rules, the Jurchens inside were first selected, leaving half of the strongest.

The remaining half became the test of loyalty for the other prisoners.

In Zhao Shuo's Balu Camp, another 4,500 soldiers were added.

In Balu Camp alone, Zhao Shuo's strength reached more than 17,000 people.

The spoils were even richer.

Although the captured war horses were far inferior to the Battle of Wusha Fort that day, as a front-line logistics base, there were more than 5,000 mules alone, as well as more than 2,000 donkeys.

Various armors, weapons, gold and silver were even more abundant.

There were more than 40,000 sets of iron armor alone, even if Zhao Shuo only took 70%, it would be enough for him to equip all his subordinates, including the Balu Camp, with iron armor and still have some left over.

Of course, both armor and weapons are consumables and will be damaged in fierce battles.

Zhao Shuo would never嫌 more armor and weapons.

The gold reached a huge amount of 20,000 taels, and the silver was 300,000 taels. It was thought that Duji Sizhong had prepared it to reward the soldiers who fought bravely on the front line, but it all benefited the Mongols.

What pleased Zhao Shuo the most was that there were 50,000 shi of grain stored in the Wuyue Camp.

One shi of grain is 120 catties, and 50,000 shi is 6 million catties.

If you save a little, it will be enough for an 80,000-strong army to eat for two months.

"By the way, there are also the 16,000 Balu Camp warriors…" Hulan reminded.

The Mongols originally regarded enemy prisoners as a burden. However, after several bloody battles in Western Xia, everyone understood the importance of the Balu Camp. Therefore, the Mongols now calculate the prisoners as spoils of war and distribute them accordingly.

Temujin waved his hand directly and said: "A Shuo has made such a great contribution, I will not deal with these 16,000 Balu Camp, you can keep them all."

He was even a little worried that there were too many people in the Balu Camp, which would take up too much of Zhao Shuo's energy, and said: "Bo Yahe, you lead the troops of the Wanggu Tribe and temporarily belong to A Shuo's command to help A Shuo suppress the Balu Camp."

"Yes."

Zhao Shuo helped Bo Yahe avenge his father and brothers, and he was very generous in distributing the spoils. Of course, Bo Yahe was willing to follow Zhao Shuo and looked happy.

Zhao Shuo was not too worried about the Balu Camp.

First of all, the newly joined Balu Camp warriors have all paid their test of loyalty and cannot turn back.

Secondly, the Balu Camp is also divided into levels.

Those who have not participated in a bloody battle are the lowest level. Not only do they have the worst treatment, but they also rush to the front in wartime, have the highest mortality rate, and get the least share of the spoils.

Participating in a bloody battle once will raise them one level, allowing them to reach a relatively safe position, have better living conditions, and get more spoils.

One-fifth of those who have participated in a bloody battle once have been given female slaves.

Nearly half of those who have participated in two bloody battles have female slaves.

Not only that, but because of the distribution of spoils, their wealth is considered abundant.

With these people around, it is enough to keep an eye on those newly joined Balu Camp warriors.

Moreover, after hearing about their treatment and knowing that there is a way out, those newly joined Balu Camp warriors who cannot turn back are even less likely to rebel.

Of course, it is always a good thing to have Bo Yahe join his command to continue strengthening the loyalty of this little brother, so Zhao Shuo thanked Temujin.

Then, Temujin carefully looked at Wanyan Chihu, who could not even utter a wail on the wooden donkey, and admired the two forests of skulls outside Wusha Fort and Wuyue Camp, feeling very happy.

He also issued an order to hold a banquet to celebrate the victory, and ordinary soldiers were given half a catty of wine and meat each (anyway, the savings of Wuyue Camp paid the bill), and the Mongolian army was in jubilation.

At the same time, inside the Grand Marshal's mansion in Fuzhou City, there was a cloud of sorrow.

"Duji Sizhong! Because of your negligence, you first lost Wusha Fort and then Wuyue Camp. In order to shirk responsibility, you are saying these nonsense?" Wanyan Chengyu looked at Duji Sizhong with eyes that were about to burst into flames.

Wanyan Chengyu did not believe a word of what Duji Sizhong said.

Those defeated soldiers would not run hundreds of miles to Fuzhou to provoke Wanyan Chengyu. They would either retreat to Wuyue Camp or to the Yehuling defense line. Therefore, until now, although Wanyan Chengyu knew that Wusha Fort had been lost, he did not know the specific situation on the front line.

The news brought by Duji Sizhong was like nonsense spoken in a fever.

How could Wanyan Chengyu not know what his son was capable of?

How could the 35,000 elite troops he led be easily wiped out by the Mongolian army? And be captured alive by Zhao Shuo? No need to ask, it was Duji Sizhong, this civil official, who dragged Wanyan Chihu down and caused this defeat! As for his son being captured, it was just a rumor, it was an impossible thing.

Also, how could Wuyue Camp's so tight defense be so easily breached by the Mongolian army? Duji Sizhong must have been afraid of the enemy and ran away from the army in his hands, making up this statement.

Therefore, he did not give Duji Sizhong any face and directly called Duji Sizhong's name.

"Of course it's true." Duji Sizhong sighed and said, "Indeed, it is my responsibility to lose Wuyue Camp. Although, until now, I don't understand how the Mongolian army entered Wuyue Camp. But many defeated soldiers escaped back regarding your son's matter. Presumably, you will get accurate news this afternoon. Zhao Shuo deliberately released those two hundred old soldiers, and only about one hundred of them entered Wuyue Camp, and you will soon be able to find someone to confront me.

Could I still tell you a lie that will be exposed immediately?"

"So…"

What Duji Sizhong said made sense!

An extremely ominous premonition surged into Wanyan Chengyu's heart.

He stared at Duji Sizhong's eyes and gritted his teeth, "Is everything you said true?"

"Absolutely true."

"Four thousand Jurchen warriors had their heads chopped off by their own people?"

"Yes."

"Also, my son…my son Wanyan Chihu, he…he was indeed nailed to the wooden donkey by Zhao Shuo?" Wanyan Chengyu stammered, his voice trembling a little.

"That's exactly what happened!"

"Ah! Ah!"

Pfft!

Wanyan Chengyu shouted twice and spat out a mouthful of blood!
