Chapter 369: The Three Khans Stand Up

Temujin was so excited to marry two young and beautiful concubines that he often went on to hunt and drink with them.

The hot summer was soon coming, and one day at noon, Temujin sat in the shade of a tree outside the tent and drank heartily between the sisters Yesui and Yasugan, but at this time he sighed alone and almost burst into tears. When Temujin saw this, he couldn't help but have questions, Temujin was alert, and immediately glanced around, and found that there were many people nearby who were also enjoying the shade, and some of them were not very familiar with them.

Temujin felt that there must be some mystery here, so he immediately asked Mu Huali to convey an order, telling all the people around him to line up according to the tribe they belonged to, and those who were not from his headquarters to line up in another line. The surrounding subjects were quickly arranged according to the tribe, and only a handsome young man stood alone outside the crowd. His wolf-like eyes, with an eerie murderous aura, stared at Temujin.

Temujin asked, "Who are you?"

The boy said, "I am the husband of Yesui." ”

Temujin was furious: "You are the son of the enemy of our tribe, I will not come to arrest you, but you will die yourself." ”

The young man said, "Who will die first, maybe it's still now?"

Before he could finish speaking, the boy suddenly pulled a short knife from his sleeve and quickly pounced on Temujin. The soldiers immediately came up to block it, but the young man's martial arts were so strong that he easily crossed several lines of defense and rushed to Temujin's face. Before Temujin's knife could be unsheathed, the boy's dagger stabbed him in the throat.

At the last moment, a bowstring was suddenly heard, followed by a scream from the young man. Jebe, who was not far away, saw that Temujin was in danger, so he hurriedly drew his bow and arrow, and an arrow hit the wrist of the young man holding the sword. The soldiers quickly swarmed up, subdued the boy, and then tied them up and pressed them down in front of Temujin.

Temujin was furious: "I told you to kill all the Tatars, what are you leaving him for?

The sergeants immediately pushed him out, beheaded him, and in a few moments sent the beheaded head. Then she saw her beside her, and she couldn't help but cry in her eyes, and in great pain, she retreated into the tent in the camp, and wept for a long time, and she quickly dried to persuade her, so that she could stop her tears and stop crying. Later, with the passage of time, the old feelings were forgotten, and they were happy to enjoy the glory and wealth. It's hard to tell if this is women's helplessness or their luck.

After that, Temujin did not want to stay in the Tatar tribe for a long time, but returned to the Mongolian tribe with his two concubines. In the ranks of Temujin's victorious class, there was also a special trophy, that is, an orphan who had never forgotten to fulfill his duty, and that was an orphan picked up from the pile of dead.

When the boy was discovered, Huo'er Chi saw from the fact that he was wearing a gold nose ring on his nose, and that he was wearing a mink fur and a gold satin belly on the inside, and that the orphan must have come from some Tatar noble family, and although he was still at the age of babbling, his forehead showed a bright glow. Huo Erchi did not hesitate to protect this child, he wanted to give such a beautiful child to Mrs. Heerlun, and he would definitely be pampered.

Sure enough, when he offered the baby to Mrs. Haelun, she was so excited that she held the baby in her arms, looked left and right, and couldn't put it down. Her maternal brilliance is so bright and irresistible at this moment. In order to turn the Tatar foal into a Mongolian wolf, Haelun was determined to keep the child in his tent, and named him Misaki Bald, and adopted him as his third adopted son.

After Temujin's victory, he planned to attack the Mirbeg tribe. Suddenly, there was a report from the Malays that the tribe had been destroyed by the king Khan, that their tribal chieftain had fled, and that the army of the king had taken his wife, children, herdsmen, and livestock, and had returned to the camp with a full load. When Temujin heard the report, he hesitated for a long time before he said, "It has happened, so let them go." But Temujin began to have suspicions about Wang Khan in his heart.

Wang Khan's original name was Toku, and in the Kereh language, it was Tunhei Lule. This is their name for a bird that resembles an eagle, with a beak and claws as hard as steel, and that can shoot down and kill two or three birds at a time. This is the true meaning of Wang Khan's real name, and in fact, Wang Khan is such a greedy and cruel person.

The war was brutal, but the results of Temujin were brilliant, and several great battles brought a major turning point in the situation in the Mongolian steppe. The Zamuh alliance was defeated, the Zamuha surrendered, the Mirbeg tribe was dealt a heavy blow, the Taichiu and Tatar tribes were completely wiped out, and the Hongjira tribe also surrendered to Temujin during this period. In the Mongolian steppe, only the Mongol tribe, the Kereh tribe of Wang Khan and the Naiman tribe in the west remained, and the three Khans confronted each other and stood on their feet.

The tribe of Wang Khan plundered the tribe of the Murbeg, obtained countless people and livestock, and he monopolized the fruits of victory, and did not give a single herdsman or animal to Temujin, nor did he report the matter to Temujin. Temujin was very restrained in this matter, and he was willing to give in to the king Khan because his goals were more important than possessions and slaves.

Faced with the threat of various forces, Temujin did not have the strength to deal with it alone, and had to find a strong ally, without which he was in danger of being wiped out. Therefore, in order to consolidate the military alliance with Wang Khan, Temujin preferred to make sacrifices in some interests, and even tried to repay grievances with virtue, put the overall situation first, and put it with patience for the time being, waiting until the future when he was full-fledged and then settled the score.

Temujin, of course, would not let the three khans stand side by side for long, and among the three forces, the Naiban tribe was the weakest and militarily isolated, so Temujin invited Wang Khan to attack the Naiban tribe together. This also caught the heart of King Khan, who accepted Temujin's invitation and led his army to hurry up, and after the two armies met, he put his troops in order and sent them out together. Hearing that the Khan was stationed at Erut, he immediately rushed to kill him, but the Khan, anticipating that he would not be able to compete with the combined forces of Temujin and Wang Khan, received the news and fled, crossing the Altai Mountains and running north.

Temujin commanded his army in pursuit, while Wang Khan's army was preoccupied with looting and holding women. Temujin captured the leader of the tribe of Buyiluhei, and after interrogation, he learned that Buyiluhei had fled, and Temujin had no intention of pursuing him again, so he led the army back to the camp. Who knew that on the way back to the army, they were suddenly attacked by the army of the Naiban tribe, and the elite cavalry of the Naiban cavalry led by Qu Xuewu and Qu Bara had already set up an ambush here.

When Temujin's army saw this, it was like a tiger entering a flock, rushing into the ranks of the enemy, and fighting side by side with the army of the tribe of Wang Khan again. The two armies of Temujin and Wang Khan were stationed in their respective camps, and they had to wait for the next day's battle.

At dawn the next day, when Temujin's army was ready to restart the war with the enemy, he saw the barracks of the Wang Khan tribe from afar, and the birds in the sky were quietly coming and going, and there was no movement of the army.

Temujin said: "Could it be that he has escaped? I formed an alliance with him and came from afar, but he turned his back on me and fled quietly, which seriously disturbed the morale of my army. "Temujin was resourceful, calm and calm in the face of unexpected accidents.

Later, the reconnaissance learned that Wang Khan's treachery was due to listening to Zamuhe's sowing discord, and although Zamuhe was forced to surrender to Wang Khan, his contradictions with Temujin were not resolved, so he did not forget how to deal with Temujin for a day. Long before Temujin's army arrived, Zamuhe said to the king: "My Temujin Anda, who has sent envoys to the Naiman tribe in the past, must have surrendered to Naiman because he has not come for so long." ”

Zamuhe then said: "I am a white finch to you, but my An Da is a finch to the sky, and we are not birds at all. The white finch is often in the north in the cold and summer, and the finch flies south to warm up when it is cold. He has probably already sent someone to Naiman, so he has not come for a long time, probably to unite with Naiman and surrender to Naiman, which is not a good thing for us. ”

One of the warriors of Wang Khan was named Gulin, who was called Ubu Ertai. Because Gu Lin was born with a red face, people compared him to this red fruit and called him by this name.

The red-faced man was upright, and he was very dissatisfied with Zamuhe's trickery, saying, "This kind of hypocrisy is not like what is said between friends and people. ”

Zamuhe slandered Temujin for not keeping his word, and even said that he wanted to surrender to the barbarian, which was originally made out of thin air. Every upright person can see through it at a glance, but Wang Khan's principle of life is that he will not hesitate to engage in intrigues and tricks in order to compete for power and profit. He treated others with himself, thinking that others would also treat others in this way, so he not only did not doubt Zamuhe's bad words, but believed them.

Although the final arrival of Temujin made Zamuhe's lie self-defeating. However, the attack on the combined forces of Wang Khan and Temujin gave Zamuhe an opportunity to stir his lips, and he said to Wang Khan: "How can it be such a coincidence, we have just reached the halfway road, and we have been ambushed, and this must be a trap deliberately set by Temujin and Naiman to destroy us." ”

Wang Khan was skeptical: "Is this true?"

Zamuhe patted his chest and said, "When have I ever lied?" Wang Khan mistakenly believed the slander, so he ordered a false campfire and secretly led his troops to move overnight.

Wang Khan's resignation was due to the instigation of Zamuhe. Although Temujin hated Wang Khan because of this, because he had misbelieved the slander, he had to endure it secretly and did not attack Wang Khan. A few days later, a horse suddenly reported that Wang Khan's tribal army and herdsmen had been pursued from behind by Naiman's cavalry, and had robbed the army's baggage and herdsmen, including the wives and children of his son Sangkun.

Temujin said: "Who told him to betray me and flee without permission? While they were talking, there was another report of the horse, and the king Khan had sent messengers to ask for help.

Temujin frowned: "Let him in!"
