Chapter 34 Leniency for the Enemy's Leaders and Surrender of Ministers

Kuduan Baracha came to the execution ground with wine and meat, and approached the Mengmu cage where Zalin was imprisoned a few days ago, only to see that a few days ago he was a handsome and handsome leader, and at this time Zalin was unkempt, his hair was unkempt, and his face was full of dirt like a wild monkey shivering in the wooden cage, occasionally grinning at the angry crowd, making a "whoop" sound.

Seeing that the former domineering leader was so embarrassed, his heart was sour, and he threw himself into the wooden cage and knelt down to bow down, and said with tears: "The leader has suffered! ”

Zalin looked at the person kneeling outside the cage uncontrollably, and his body couldn't help but hide in the corner of the cage, and he just wanted to open his mouth and teeth, when his eyes suddenly lit up. There were a few "ahs" in his throat, and he barely spit out a few words: "Wide...... End...... Ahhhh......h Ha......? ”

Kuduan Baracha wiped away a handful of old tears and said: "It is the old minister, and it is all blamed on the old minister for being incompetent and not protecting the leader and the Tatar tribe." ”

Seeing that there was a food box beside Kuduan Baraha, he didn't care to listen to what Kuduan Barha said, so he reached out to grab the food box, and Kuduan Barha opened the food box and handed over the beef and mutton and mare's milk wine. Zalin grabbed a large piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it, choking so much that he "vomited" and didn't catch his breath for a long time. Kuoduan Baracha handed over the mare's milk wine, and Zalin did not agree to take the "goo" for a while, before he eased up, and held the wine jug in one hand, grabbed the beef with the other hand and kept stuffing it into his mouth, and did not care about looking at Kuoduan Balaha.

After all the meat and wine were put down, he licked his fingers, stared at Kuduan Bara with his eyes, and couldn't say what he wanted to say, "Ahh It is not the fault of that one person to cause this result, if he did not hand over the Baba to the Jin people back then, if he did not listen to the provocation of Tali Kutai and poisoned him, if he did not take refuge in the Jin people and make enemies of the Mongol tribes, if he did not ......, alas! It's a pity that there aren't so many ifs in this world, otherwise there is room for it, and a step back will at least not make both sides lose the two kings, resulting in an irreversible cruel situation. It's impossible to go back to all this, please don't let others and yourself get by, let it go! ”

Hearing this, the neighbor still shouted, "Report ...... Ahhhh......h ...... hatred"

Kuoduan Baracha still did not give up after a bitter mouth, and raised his voice and said: "The Tatar tribe is gone, and a living man is gone, it is impossible!" ”

Zha Lin was so anxious that he shook his head and said, "You...... You ......"

Kuoduan Baracha shook and said: "I can't repay it, there is no one in the world who is Temujin's opponent, he is the eagle and the overlord of the steppe, this is all providence." In fact, we have dealt with him a lot over the years, and we have learned a little about him, and this last battle showed me that he is a great man, with a big heart, and his measurement and courage are very comparable. Although you are the enemy who killed your father, he still asked me to bring wine and meat to see you, and to meet you for the last time, it can be regarded as the end of benevolence and righteousness, so you can go with confidence. ”

When the three generations of old ministers who were loyal to Tatar said these things that they usually did not dare to say, their hearts were also shocked, and they collapsed in the cage, burst into tears, and kept shouting out in their mouths: "Belly...... I'm afraid ......"

Knowing that he was afraid of the Mongol punishment, Kuduan Baracha trembled in his heart and said, "Don't worry, chief, I will try my best to persuade Temujin not to be tortured!" ”

Temuzhen and Ye were in a hurry to report the arrival of the envoy of the king of the Kereh tribe outside the tent, and then urged: "Go." Don't get down to business, where the days are long, you can be enough. ”

Temujin put on his robe and said, "Well, just lie down like this, and come when you go!" ”

At this time, the banquet to welcome Kuduan Baracha was prepared in the big tent, and all the generals sat down in turn to welcome the Great Khan. Temujin came out of the tent and walked into the tent in high spirits, and all the generals stood up to salute, which was a phenomenon that had never been seen before, needless to say, it was carefully arranged by Muhuali to let the envoys of Kuduan Baracha and King Han of the Kereh tribe see Temujin's prestige among the Mongol tribes. And Temujin saw that his companions, An'er, and brothers in life and death, who usually called him brothers, were very respectful and respectful today, but he was uncomfortable, and said: "It is everyone's credit to win the battle, how to give me a share, just like you, as usual, you can do whatever you want." ”

Mu Huali said: "The Great Khan is bad, you are a generation of Great Khan should have some rules, especially in front of others, showing that our Great Mongolia is different from ordinary tribes, there is a difference between the top and bottom, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, everything has a law, like a big country." ”

Temujin laughed "haha" and said, "I know that it was you, Zhiduoxing, who made Mingtang." Isn't it like no one is coming now? Whatever you want, whatever you want. ”

As he spoke, he summoned the official to report: "The envoy of the Khan Khan, the king of the Kereh tribe, has arrived!" ”

Temujin walked to the high bench covered with tiger skins, sat down on Friday, smiled at the generals, and then smiled solemnly: "Please bring the messenger into the account!" ”

"The envoy of the Kereh Ministry has entered the account!" With the summons shout, Wang Han's envoy hurriedly ran in, knelt down and said, "Ahal the envoy of the Great Khan of the Kereh tribe bows down to the respected Temujin Khan!" ”

"Excuse me!" Temujin said, "You are in such a hurry, come to my Mongolian tribe, do you have any important matter?" ”

"Qi Qi Great Khan, I came here to ask for help on the orders of Wang Han Great Khan!" The messenger Ahal said.

"The Kereh army has a large number of generals, 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the previous time Wang Han abandoned me unjustly, and also took in Zamuhe (this Zamuhe was a white-horse boy who had been married to Antar when Temujin was a child, and who had fought against Temujin many times, and even Temujin had to entangle with this man for most of his life, not the leader of the Tatar tribe who was about to be executed. Later, I listened to Zamuhe provoke a few times to make things difficult for me, and today he came to beg me again, isn't he playing some tricks again? Temujin was originally very disgusted with Wang Han's acceptance of Zamuhe, and the envoy disturbed his own good deeds, so he was not happy in his heart, and he was angry.

Wang Han's envoy Ahal knew that Temujin had taken in Zamuhe's anger when Wang Han attacked the Zamuhe coalition last time, and he was afraid that Temujin would not come to the rescue, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few more times and said: "Respected Great Khan, Wang Han Great Khan already knows that some things were not done properly last time, so let me come to you to give you the guilt, and he will not listen to Zamuhe again." This time, it was Zamuhe who instigated our Great Khan to attack the tribe of Miriji, but instead fell into the hands of the old fox of Tohei, the leader of Miriji. fell into the trap set by the Black Tuo'er United Barbarian Tribe.

"Most of the tribe's women, vehicles, horses, and Xiankun's wife's family were taken. At present, several tribes have united to attack the Kereh tribe, and the situation is critical, our Great Khan asks you to look at the points that were once world friends, regardless of the past suspicions, to save the Xiankun family, and help Kereh retreat from the enemy. In the future, even ten Zamuhe will not be able to separate each other anymore. ”

Temujin listened patiently to the statement of the messenger Ahal, and thought to himself, "You Wang Han also have today, usually arrogant and arrogant, and there is no one in your eyes, and now you have a time to ask me." I didn't want to send troops, let other tribes kill his arrogance, teach him a lesson, at least let him break his troops and lose his generals, hurt his vitality, and wait for one day I will make a move, so that the disparity in strength is not too great, and now I choose to be stationed on the spot is not just thinking about such a day? But, on the other hand, this situation is a bit untimely, if the Kereh tribe is wiped out by Naiman this time, then isn't my Mongolia the next target to be destroyed by Naiman? No way! At the moment, we can't do without the Kreh tribe as a shield. With it, the Mongolian tribe has room to develop and grow, and once it has the ability to compete with Wang Han, it is not too late to tear his face with Wang Han. Temujin weighed the pros and cons and made up his mind to send troops to rescue Wang Han. At the same time, it is also a bad opportunity for the generals to step on the Wanghan tribe by the way, familiarize themselves with the situation, and make some preparations for the future war, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, why not do it.

After Ahal finished explaining the reason for sending troops, Temujin laughed and said: "Wang Han and my father Khan are like brothers, Wang Han is my father Khan, our two tribes have helped each other many times, although there is a little misunderstanding, it cannot affect our friendly relations, now the Kereh tribe is in trouble, my Mongolian tribe is duty-bound, this king has decided to send troops to rescue!"

Temujin seemed to express his position without thinking, and everyone, especially Wang Han's envoy, felt that Temujin still remembered Wang Han's old feelings, and unequivocally agreed to send troops to rescue him, showing his true feelings for Wang Han. In fact, there is one person who knows Temujin's true thoughts best, and this person is Mu Huali, the general who silently nodded in approval on the side.

Hearing that Temujin did not hesitate to send troops to the rescue, Wang Han's envoy Ahal gratefully kowtowed a few more times and said, "Thank you Great Khan, the Kereh tribe has been saved, I wonder if the Great Khan sent that general to go?" ”

Temujin looked at Mu Huali who was standing aside, and saw him quietly stretching out four fingers, thinking to himself Mu Huali, who knew me! So, he said heartily: "Mu Huali, Chi Lao Wen, Borshu, and Borer suddenly listen to the order!" ”

Temujin's four men stood side by side in front of Temujin and respectfully obeyed the orders of the Great Khan.

"This king ordered the four of you to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses each, and take your generals under the unified command of Mu Huali to support the Kereh tribe, there must be no mistake!" Temujin looked at his beloved warrior with satisfaction.

The four heroes replied in unison: "Respect the order!" ”

Wang Han's envoy Ahal didn't expect Temujin to send troops so quickly, and he also sent his own right-hand man Sijie to rescue with all the Mongolian soldiers and horses, and he was happy to kowtow and make a gesture, and said: "After the minister goes back, he will truthfully report the sincerity and help of the Great Khan, thank you Great Khan!" Thank you Great Khan! ”

Temujin smiled and said, "You wait and go, I'll set up a banquet and wait for your good news!" ”

Sijie ordered dozens of his generals to leave. There are less than dozens of generals left in the big tent, the hall seems a little empty, and the generals are a little impatient, and said: "If you don't let us fight, let us eat the meat, the dishes are cold, and the old horseman of Kuoduan Bara has not come back, isn't it running?" ”

Temujin knew that the generals were itching at the mention of fighting, and this time he didn't let them complain in his heart, so he rushed to Kuoduan Baraha, and he didn't say much, anyway, there were no outsiders here, and said with a smile: "Why don't you gnaw on the leg of mutton first, wait?" ”

As soon as Temujin's words fell, the leg of mutton in the hands of the generals was already stuffed into their mouths. At this moment, the official report was summoned: "The old general of Kuduan Baracha has arrived!" ”

Temujin hurriedly put down the leg of mutton in his hand and said, "Hurry up, please!" ”

The generals were curious and muttered, how did this old guy change so quickly, and he didn't even get off his horse when he began to see the Great Khan, and he knelt down without saying anything?

"The old general doesn't have to be polite, get up and speak." Temujin also got up from the high chair and stepped forward to grab Kuduan Barahadao.

Kuduan Baracha knelt down and couldn't bear it, and knocked his head three times in a row and said, "Today, the old man is willing to ask the Great Khan for the last time to agree to one thing. ”

"Old general, please, Temujin will agree to what you always say, don't worry about what you want to say, the old general will do it for you." Temujin laughed.

"The old man hasn't reported yet, and the Great Khan knows what the old minister wants to ask for?" Kuduan Baracha still refused to get up, and said a little unbelievingly.

"The old general's personality is still known to the king, you are very loyal to the master, the king admires it very much, and has long thought that you will come to intercede for the discord of the neighbors." Temujin laughed.

As soon as the words fell, someone came to report: "The Great Khan of Qi Qi is not in harmony with the neighbors, and he has died without pain for an hour after drinking the mare's milk wine!" ”

Kuoduan Baracha made a few more rings, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Great Khan, you are so forgiving, let my master euthanize and die, the old minister will be the Great Khan for the rest of his life, only the Great Khan is the first to look forward, and he will do his best!" ”

"Haha, the old general is serious, since there are many misunderstandings between the two tribes, and the neighbors are not in harmony and poisoned my father Khan in the wine, I also poisoned his wine, and it is enough to report and report!" Temujin pulled Kuduan Balahara up and said, "From today onwards, we will be a family, the old general has always had contacts with the Han people in the Central Plains, and he is very knowledgeable, and from today onwards you will be my teacher." ”

As he spoke, Temujin went to bow down and trembled with fright: "I can't do it! I can't help it! The Great Khan has killed the old man. In the future, if there is a need for the old man, despite the order, the old man is willing to serve! ”

"Good!" Temujin pulled Kuduan Barahara into the throne and said, "My wife, Son-the-El Tie, is Hongjira, who knows a little bit about the Han people in the Central Plains, and has said many things that we have not seen. I heard that the old general has some friendship with celebrities among the Han people, and he still wants to give advice? ”

"Huh?" When he heard that Temujin wanted to know about the Han people, he was shocked again......
