The Mongol army left the Yaoluwen River camp and went south, crossed the Great Desert, marched to Yinshan, first came to Tale Lake, occupied Da Shui Luo, and entered the station of the Wangu tribe. At this time, the leader of the Wangu tribe, Aravus Tijihuri, led all the leaders of Luoli and knelt down to meet Genghis Khan's team. Not long ago, Genghis Khan's Zabal and Shifta, who were sent to the Wanggu tribe, were also among the welcoming procession.

That night, the Wanggu tribe held a banquet, with a hundred cattle banquet, a hundred horses banquet, and a 10,000 sheep banquet to comfort the 100,000 Mongolian soldiers, Genghis Khan was very excited to pat the head of the leader of the Wanggu tribe, Arawusi Tiji, and laughed: "How did King Wanyan Yongji know that his border guards were in his defensive territory, killing cattle and horses, and holding a feast to welcome the Mongolian army?"

It can be seen that Genghis Khan is really a genius military strategist, and his alliance and marriage with the Wangu tribe fully show how keen his strategic vision is. On the contrary, it was the corruption and incompetence of the Jin State, the Wanggu tribe not only did not defend the Outer Great Wall for the Jin State, but instead handed over the border city fortress to Mongolia, while the Jin court knew nothing about it, without any precautions and awareness, which shows how careless they were to the enemy.

Genghis Khan's army came to the Wanggu tribe, just in March and April, the weather has warmed, the general Mu Huali suggested: "Our cavalry is not suitable for fighting in the hot season, the grassland here is fertile, it is a good place for war horses to recuperate, whether it is advisable to wait for the autumn to cool before marching." ”

Genghis Khan accepted this suggestion and only sent the general Jebe to lead a thousand cavalry to cruise the northwestern border defense line of the Jin State to further reconnoiter the movements of the Jin army and select fighters. The rest of the brigade, under the personal supervision of Genghis Khan, spent the summer in the Wanggu tribe station, in order to rest and recuperate, train the whole army, and wait until the autumn when the horses were fat, and then march south.

At this time, the Jin Emperor Weishao Wang Yongji received the news of the Mongol invasion, and the government and the opposition were panicked and chaotic for a while. After obtaining the opinions of the ministers, Yongji decided to ask the Northwest Road to invite 200 cattle, sheep and horses, 200 pieces of silk and satin cloth, and 200 stone of grain and grain to negotiate peace;

So the northwest road recruited the glue and the heda hurriedly walked down the palace, prepared cattle and sheep and other gifts to send to negotiate peace with Genghis Khan.

Only Pingzhang political affairs Duji Sizhong said to the emperor: "The castles in the northwest Fuzhou area have long been dilapidated and decayed because they have not been repaired for many years, and they cannot resist the enemy. ”

When King Wei Shao heard this, of course he was willing, as long as there were ministers who could lead the troops to resist the enemy, if he could repel the Mongol army and defeat Genghis Khan, he would be willing to allocate as much silver as he could. So the emperor picked up the dragon pen and waved it, and gave 30,000 taels of silver as the cost of repairing the city and repairing the fort.

The Northwest Road that sent gifts and asked for peace made him drive so many horses, cattle and sheep, and brought cloth and grain, all the way to the Wanggu tribe, and asked Genghis Khan to meet him, and the guards guarding the door said to him: "The Great Khan is holding a meeting, please wait a while." ”

But the horses, cattle and sheep did not want to wait, and they called in unison, and soon reached the meeting of Genghis Khan, and he asked, "What is this sound?"

The guard reported: "A minister from the Kingdom of Jin has come to negotiate peace, bringing a lot of horses, cattle, sheep, cloth, grain, etc., and has been waiting outside the tent for a long time. ”

Genghis Khan smiled when he heard this: "It's really fresh, come with gifts, this can't be called peace, it can only be said that you are here to ask for peace, that's fine, as long as King Jin agrees to surrender and become a vassal, we will retreat." After speaking, he said to the guards: "Let the minister of the Jin Kingdom come!"

After that, he walked in, stood up to Genghis Khan, did not kneel, but clasped his fists and said: "I am the envoy of the northwest road of the Jin Kingdom, and I came to negotiate peace on the order of the emperor, and rewarded 200 horses, cattle and sheep. ”

Genghis Khan immediately said: "Let me ask you first, why don't you kneel when you see Ben Great Khan?"

"I am an important minister of the great power of the Central Plains, how can I give a great gift to my subject country?"

Genghis Khan was very angry with his words, and he asked: "You came to sue for peace with gifts, who is the subject country?"

The guards on both sides had come forward and knelt on the ground, asking him to kowtow and bow, but he always refused, and Genghis Khan asked him: "Since the Yongji Emperor sent you to sue for peace with gifts, that is, to surrender to Mongolia, why don't you bow down and be a vassal?"

He said: "I am ordered to negotiate peace, not to ask for peace, let alone to surrender, if you do not agree, I will go back to restore my life." ”

After hearing this, Genghis Khan replied: "Then Yongji is so nonsense, how can he be the emperor? Seeing that you are also an honest man, it is not difficult for you, go back quickly and say to Yongji, if he surrenders and becomes a vassal, I will withdraw my troops, otherwise my soldiers and horses will be beaten to Zhongdu. ”

Genghis Khan was unwilling to sue for peace, and the Jin State had to send troops to resist the enemy. Two days later, Duji Sizhong's commander and Prince Wanyan Chengyu led 100,000 soldiers and horses across the country to enter Fuzhou. As soon as the two arrived, they seized the time to build Wusha Fort on the front line of the border, and sent an army to garrison the Wuyue Battalion, and at the same time appointed Xijing to stay in Shaoshilie Hu Shahu, responsible for guarding the important town of Xijing Datong in the northwest.

After Genghis Khan got the news, he immediately convened a meeting of the generals, and asked everyone to express their opinions on attacking the enemy, and the general Mu Huali proposed a strategy of besieging the city to send reinforcements, he said: "The main force of the Jin soldiers is in Fuzhou, if you first use troops to surround Fuzhou, the soldiers and horses stationed in Wusha Fort and Wuyue Camp will definitely come to the rescue, at this time, first destroy these two support armies, and then concentrate on attacking Fuzhou, you can break the city in one fell swoop." ”

At this time, Genghis Khan asked Shifter: "Can the army stationed on the Northwest Great Wall come to Fuzhou's aid?"

"The leader of the army, Ilguk, has promised to surrender, and in the next two days he will personally come to the Great Khan and ask for his army to join the battle. ”

When Genghis Khan heard this, he said happily: "This is great, when Irguk comes, you must be hospitable, not careless, and this matter will be up to you." ”

After hearing this, he agreed again and again, and went to arrange the reception of the army and its leader. Genghis Khan immediately worked out a battle plan according to all aspects, led an army of 40,000 to encircle Fuzhou, and ordered Mu Huali and Borshu to lead 30,000 horses each to encircle and annihilate the reinforcements from Wusha Fort and Wuyue Camp respectively.

At this time, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, after nearly half a year of fierce soldiers, the Mongolian army was strong and strong, Genghis Khan gave an order, and the three troops rushed to the designated place like an arrow from the string.

Ten days later, the Great War began. Genghis Khan led an army of 40,000 and let the general Jebe be the vanguard, first besieged Fuzhou, and implemented the siege without a strategy. The general Mu Huali led 30,000 cavalry, and rushed to a mountain pass from Wushabao to Fuzhou in the starry night, and ordered the soldiers to cut down the trees on the mountain and transport them to the cliffs on both sides. In order to annihilate the reinforcements, the resourceful general, organized four thousand archers, and laid ambushes on both sides of the mountain pass, only waiting for the enemy to arrive.

The next day, when the sky was light, Guo Baoyu, the guard of Wusha Fort, learned that Fuzhou was besieged, and the commander Pingzhang asked him to lead troops to help, so he hurried with 20,000 horses. When they were about to reach the mountain pass, Guo Baoyu ordered the team to stop and sent a sentry to the mountain pass to check whether there was an ambush by the Mongol army. ”

Guo Baoyu then ordered the men and horses to continue to advance, and said in his heart: "They all think that Genghis Khan used his soldiers to make a strategy, and it seems that it is just a vain name, this mountain pass is the fortress of Wusha Fort leading to Fuzhou, if a group of men and horses are ambushed here, my team will be very sad." ”

This Guo Baoyu is a native of Zheng County, Huazhou, a descendant of the famous general Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty. When Guo Baoyu's 20,000 horses entered the mountain pass, Mu Huali gave an order, and the Mongolian troops on both sides of the mountain pass suddenly shouted, pushing down the trees on the cliff wall, and smashed them all at the Jin soldiers with the sound of whirring wind, killing and wounding one by one.

Guo Baoyu knew that he had been ambushed, so he hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army, and the back road was blocked by large and small trees, and the people and horses could not pass for a while. When the Jin soldiers dismounted and cleared the road, Mu Huali ordered the archers on both sides to release their arrows together, and suddenly ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time, and the Jin soldiers were killed one after another.

Guo Baoyu saw that his army was blocked in front and back, so he had to shout an order to the soldiers: "If you want to live, rush out with me!"

After finishing speaking, Guo Baoyu waved his big knife and rushed over, leading the remnants of the team to rush out of the mountain pass. Mu Huali saw the real thing on the cliff, and saw that the main general of the golden soldiers was strong and powerful, and the big knife like a door leaf was waved like a wheel in his hand. Wherever he swung his sword, he fell, and because of his extraordinary bravery, the Mongol army had been driven back by him, and it seemed that they were almost at the mountain pass.

Mu Huali didn't dare to slack off, and thought to himself: "If I let this person rush to kill again, my ambush strategy will be destroyed in his hands." ”

Thinking of this, Mu Huali took the bow and arrow in his hand, and when he was about to release the arrow, he felt that it was better to capture him than to shoot him, and it was rare to find talent. He had made up his mind, so he aimed his horse at the head, and with a whoosh arrow, the horse suddenly raised its head and flicked its tail, and its body fell, and immediately the lord was thrown aside.

At this time, Mu Huali suddenly shouted: "Kill! Rush! Destroy the golden soldiers in the mountain pass!"

While shouting, while taking the lead in rushing down the mountain pass, the Mongolian 30,000 horses, from the cliffs, woods, grass, and rocks jumped out together, killed the mountain pass, rushed to the frightened Jin soldiers, killed them on their backs, crying father and mother.

Half an hour later, the battle was over, Guo Baoyu was captured, more than half of the 20,000 horses he led were killed and wounded, and the rest were taken prisoner. At this time, hundreds of miles away in the southwest, there was a fire in the sky, smoke was filled, and 10,000 golden soldiers were burned by the fire.

It turned out that the general Borshu led 30,000 horses to fight the soldiers and horses in Wuyue Camp to rescue Fuzhou. This Wuyue camp is located in the northeast of Wusha Fort, and it is also the border fortress of the Jin Dynasty, which is more than 150 miles away from Fuzhou.
