Genghis Khan hurriedly picked up the shovel from the corner of the wall against the wall, held his breath, and stared at the cobras attacking him, ready to shoot back. Suddenly, Genghis Khan swung his shovel at the head of the snake and swung it hard, only to hear a snap, and the head of the snake was hit by him against the wall, and then fell to the ground again.

Then, before the head of the snake could be raised again, Genghis Khan took a step forward and smashed and chopped with a shovel, and the head of the cobra, which was eight feet long, was beaten to pieces and died. Genghis Khan went to the door and called for the guards, and took out the big snake, which was still twitching and spasming, and threw it away.

Back in the house, Hulan saw the blood stains on Genghis Khan's body, his eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "Great Khan, where did you get so many blood stains on your body?"

"I just shot a big cobra in the toilet. ”

Then Genghis Khan told him how he killed the snake, and Hulan was very frightened after hearing it, and couldn't help but say: "The terrain here is low-lying, the climate is humid, and it is an environment where poisonous snakes are easy to breed.

Genghis Khan smiled and said, "Yo, who did you listen to?"

Hu Lan blinked her big bright and beautiful eyes and said, "I heard the guide of Xingfu Road the day before yesterday that he is a local, and what he said is all the truth. ”

Because he hasn't been with Hulan for many days, Genghis Khan has been infatuated by Qingqing Zhuoya and several other girls, and tonight is a rare moment, the two immediately undressed and went to bed to relive their dreams. When I woke up, it was already late at night, and the Great Khan was woken up by Hulan, and heard her say in a playful voice: "Listen, Great Khan, what is the sound outside, so harsh?"

Genghis Khan put his pillow on his head, and when he listened to it, there was a constant sneering sound outside the house, which was very ugly, so he turned over and got out of bed, walked to the window, and looked out in the moonlight, and suddenly shocked the handsome man on horseback to be completely sleepy, and only felt creepy. It turned out that there were many large and small cobras crawling densely under the ground outside the window, and I saw that they all held their heads high and wriggled rapidly everywhere.

Genghis Khan immediately shouted a few times, and saw that none of the guards on duty came. Busy in front of the window to take a closer look, there were a few people lying on the ground in the courtyard downstairs, not moving, he immediately understood that the guards must have been bitten by snakes, I am afraid that they were all bitten to death by these poisonous snakes.

At this time, he hurriedly lit the candle, and suddenly heard Hu Lan's exclamation voice from behind him: "Oh, there are snakes in this house too!"

Genghis Khan hurriedly turned around, and following the direction of Hulan's finger, there was already a cobra more than three feet long next to the door, holding his head high and glaring at him, ready to attack. In the midst of Hulan's screams, Genghis Khan found three more large snakes, and at some point, they came in through the crack under the door.

At this time, Genghis Khan did not dare to hesitate, immediately jumped to the head of the bed, reached out and took out his saber, slashed left and right, and finally eliminated the four uninvited guests after some swinging.

"Great Khan, is this because you killed the big cobra during the day?"

After hearing Hulan's frightened words, Genghis Khan suddenly woke up: "Yes, these cobra snakes are taking revenge on us, so it is." ”

The snake in the bedroom had been killed, Genghis Khan came to the window again, shouted out of the window several times in a row, still no response, he couldn't help but say to Hulan: "It's terrible, all the guards on duty tonight were bitten to death by these cobras, this ...... What should I do?"

The two of them stood in front of the window, looking at so many big snakes and small snakes outside, holding their heads high, and constantly making sneering sounds, which was really terrifying.

"We can't sit in the house and wait for the snakes to bite us, should we call the guards, they can't all be killed by cobras?"

Genghis Khan said anxiously to Hulan, a look of embarrassment on his face. Genghis Khan, who was once fearless in the face of thousands of enemies, was really a little frightened under the siege of these cobras.

After thinking for a while, he opened the window with his sword in his hand, struck the window frame with the hilt of his sword, and shouted loudly: "Someone!

After shouting a few times and seeing no response, he suddenly thought: "The woman's voice is sharp and crisp, it must have spread far, let's let her shout!"

Genghis Khan asked Hulan to shout out the window: "Come on! We are surrounded by cobras!"

Half an hour later, the guards arrived one after another, and everyone swung their swords forward together, as if fighting on the battlefield, and launched a fierce attack on the snakes, killing the snakes and fleeing to death. After dawn, when cleaning the battlefield, it was found that there were 102 guards who had been bitten to death by snakes on the spot.

Genghis Khan was shocked and saddened, and immediately ordered the generals to bury them in a thick manner. Genghis Khan sent someone to call Yelu Chucai, and told him in detail about the encounter with the snake and the snake beating, and asked: "I'm afraid this is not an auspicious thing, right?"

After hearing this, Yelu Chucai immediately said: "This is a good auspicious omen, please think about it, isn't there a huge goshawk embroidered on the military flag of the Mongol Empire?"

Genghis Khan asked, "Yes, what does this have to do with the goshawk on the banner?"

"In the natural world between heaven and earth, the goshawk and the snake have always been a pair of natural enemies, and the military flag of the Mongol Empire does not symbolize the kingship of the Great Khan? The Khan's final victory in the fight against those cobras certainly indicates that the Khan's ongoing war against Khorezm will be completely victorious. ”

Genghis Khan said with trepidation: "No, this incident can scare me a lot, so many snakes have come to attack together, are they really here to take revenge?

Yelu Chucai also said: "The ancients said that things compete with the heavens, the survival of the fittest, and the weak eat the strong, which has been the case since ancient times. The cobra that the Great Khan killed first may also be the snake king of this group of cobras, its subordinates, its descendants, its subjects, they heard that you killed their king, and you were killed by the Great Khan for no reason, so it is normal to come to you for revenge. ”

Hearing this, Genghis Khan suddenly remembered something, he looked at Hulan beside him, and immediately said: "Hulan should also remember this, in the past ten years, once when I was hunting, I injured a wild boar. Later, the beast also came to us for revenge, and bit some of the guards, and before he died, he glared at us and roared angrily. ”

Hulan also continued: "Not only the wild boar knows revenge, but even the little bee knows how to seek revenge from the enemy, and whoever stabs its nest will chase you in groups, and they must sting you a few times before stopping." ”

Yelu Chucai listened, and hurriedly nodded and said: "Because of this, everything that has life in heaven and earth has a revenge mentality, which has a revelation to people, asking people to be calm and generous, and even tolerate, and not to do stupid things that hurt people because of temporary circumstances." Because once you hurt others, you will have a grudge, and when the grudge is deep, it will become hatred, and if you have hatred, others will remember you, and they will take revenge, so that the hatred will be deeper and more extensive. In the end, the only way to solve the problem is to use war, and this is the root cause of war. ”

When Genghis Khan heard this, his heart was faintly touched, and he couldn't help but think of this western expedition, he said: "This western expedition, we are indeed here for revenge, but the murder of people and cities does not happen often, not every time a city is broken, we will kill them all." There is one principle, which I always adhere to, and that is that those who surrender live, and those who resist die. I remember that our old people in the Mongolian steppe said well: only after the destruction of those enemies that destroy stability can there be a peaceful environment. I've always insisted on using war to stop war, I wonder if it's wrong?"

After hearing this, Yelu Chucai said: "I think it is better to kill as few people as possible in war, because the purpose of war is to save people, or wars that occur for the sake of people. No matter who kills too many people, it is always not a glorious thing, and it will not leave a good reputation in history. ”
