Chapter 394: Busy Brother Timur
Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Okay, I didn't bring 50,000 people, how many troops do you still have?" β
Ah Shu said: "There are nearly 10,000 dead and wounded, and there are 70,000 people. Busy brother Timur has only more than 60,000 people at most, and he can still fight. β
Cheng Yue lightly slapped his thigh and said, "Our two armies combined have a total of 120,000 people, all of whom are on the battlefield, and the strength is more than twice that of busy brother Timur, and this battle will be won." But don't worry, I'm going to meet with my busy brother Timur in person to see if he surrenders, and you wait for my signal. If he still refuses to surrender, the Khan of the Kipchak Khanate will be replaced by someone else, and it doesn't matter if he is not a descendant of Jochi, who made them so disobedient! β
The generals were in their hearts, and they were ordered to go out of their tents to prepare for war.
Ku Toulon said a little nervously: "How many people do you want to bring to talk to the busy brother Timur?" β
Cheng Yue said: "Only one hundred spearmen and two thousand elites are enough." β
Kutoulon resolutely said, "I'll go with you." β
Cheng Yue smiled slightly and said, "Okay, if you don't worry, go together, and be responsible for protecting my safety." β
Cheng Yue then ordered Xiao Zhen and Ma Fu to lead 100 spearmen, Zhang Xiaozhong and Li Dashi to bring 2,000 elites, and Ku Toulon to order another 1,000 soldiers to follow.
After the whole army was over, Cheng Yue walked out of the tent and on both sides of the river, the 178,000 troops on both sides confronted each other as before the war. It's just that the Kipchak army is already at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and although the weapons in their hands are tightly grasped, their faces show a look of horror.
At this time, as long as Cheng Yue gave an order, the fate of the Kipchak army could be imagined.
Cheng Yue whispered a few words to Ah Shu, and led three thousand soldiers and horses to slowly walk out of the formation and head towards the opposite bank.
The Kipchaks saw the dazzling red gold dragon flag in the middle of the opposite bank. knew that it was Cheng Yue who was in person. The whole army was shocked. did not dare to act rashly, and hurriedly reported to the busy brother Timur.
Busy brother Timur was discussing countermeasures with the generals in the tent, and was shocked when he heard that Cheng Yue dared to enter the Kipchak army to meet him, and heard that he only brought 3,000 people.
Cheng Yue led the army to walk slowly. Observe the Kipcha army all the way. In the Kipchak army, the Mongols were not very numerous, only about 20,000. The rest of the soldiers were made up of all ethnic groups, including those of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
At that time, the Russians were slaves of the Golden Horde or Kipchak Khanate, so there were many Russian soldiers in the Kipchak army, led by nobles sent by the Russian principalities, dressed in dirty clothes and with a rough expression.
In the eyes of Russia and other Eastern European principalities. The Mongols were invincible. Cheng Yue, as a Han Chinese, defeated the three major Mongolian khanates. made them more in awe of Cheng Yue, although Cheng Yue's main use was the Mongol army.
In addition to the Mongols, the strongest of the Kipchak army were the Turks, known for their discipline and bravery. The Turks mostly believe in Islam, the busy brother Timur also believes in Islam, the Russians and the Eastern European ethnic groups are Orthodox Christians, plus some Mongolian Buddhism, the Kipchak army can not afford to conflict, and the busy brother Timur undoubtedly spent a lot of effort.
Cheng Yue walked all the way, and the Kipchak army stood silently on both sides, and many people saluted Cheng Yue involuntarily. Cheng Yue's straight military uniform and shiny leather boots made them ashamed of themselves, and many soldiers who listened to Cheng Yue's songs were eager to see him and brag to others when they went back.
Cheng Yue enjoyed the gaze of the hero all the way and came to the Golden Horde. The busy brother Timur did not dare to support Cheng Yue, and personally led the crowd to greet him outside the tent. You must know that the Kipchak Khanate was extremely contemptuous of other peoples, and all the Russian lords and nobles had to crawl on all fours to enter the tent when they met the Kipchak Khan, and they had to be whipped several times for no reason before leaving.
In addition to the Mongolian nobles, the busy brother Timur has never personally greeted anyone outside the tent, Cheng Yue is the only exception so far, and it is the attitude of a victor, so that in the mouth of the Kipchak army in the future, Cheng Yue has added countless legends, the people who saw Cheng Yue that day are honored, and they are sought after everywhere they go, and Cheng Yue's name has also spread to Europe with his writings, setting off a huge wave, which is a later story.
Cheng Yue threw the stirrup and dismounted, and greeted each other with his busy brother Timur. Busy brother Timur saw that Cheng Yue's army was clean and well-armed, and he was also very convinced. The three khanates lost to such an opponent, and they were not wronged.
Timur was surrounded by two important figures, one was his younger brother Nahai, who had been shot blind in one eye ten years earlier, and his troops were mainly Eastern Europeans. Nahai married another illegitimate daughter of the Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII as a new side concubine, she is the sister of Abaha's concubine Maria, Michael VIII in order to get the support of the Mongols, did not hesitate to let his two illegitimate daughters to the Mongols as side concubines, called long-sleeved and good at dancing, but also really afraid of the Mongols.
The other person is the eldest son of the busy brother Timur, and the name is the same as that of Cheng Yue's subordinates. This person is also a ruthless character, in history, after the death of his busy brother Timur, he fought with Nahai repeatedly, took advantage of Nahai's mistakes, successfully killed Nahai, and inherited the throne of the Golden Horde.
Cheng Yue was very interested in them, and looked at them a few more times, seeing that the two of them were nervous, for fear that Cheng Yue was playing some ghost idea again.
After entering the tent and sitting down, the busy brother Timur said: "Cheng Dashuai, you just came from Haidu, what did he say about Haidu?" β
Cheng Yue said: "Haidu has promised to surrender, I asked Namuhan to accompany him to meet the Great Khan, and now it should have arrived." β
Busy brother Timur was silent for a while when he heard this, and said, "Does Cheng Dashuai mean to let me go too?" "He's a proud man and certainly doesn't want to surrender. Helplessly, the situation is stronger than people, and this Cheng Yue in front of him is famous for his ruthlessness, killing the Mongolian kings is like chopping melons and vegetables. If he didn't give in, Cheng Yue's army of hundreds of thousands would be killed immediately.
Cheng Yue said: "You are all members of the Golden Family, you are so close, why can't you meet each other?" If there is any misunderstanding, it is good to solve it, otherwise it will not benefit anyone if it continues to fight. β
Busy brother Timur said: "It's not that I don't want to see Kublai Khan, but I have nothing to say to him." β
Cheng Yue said: "In my opinion, you don't need to say anything else. Since the death of MΓΆngke Khan, the Mongols have been divided over the throne and fought against each other, what have they gained over the years? How many people died for the position of a Great Khan? Do you really think you're going to make it? Do you think that the Great Khan is becoming less and less like the Mongols, and he raised troops against him without the confirmation of the Kuritai Congress, so I don't think you are like the Han at all, and there are not many people who know Chinese, so I will send troops to kill you all? β
If others dared to speak like this in front of the busy brother Timur, the busy brother Timur would not hesitate to cut off his head, but Cheng Yue was probably the only person who was qualified and dared to speak like this to their Mongols.
Nahai and Totoku raised their heads when they heard this, looked at Cheng Yue, and lowered their heads again. They are also arrogant people, but they can only swallow their anger at this time.
The busy brother Timur did not feel much offended, but gave birth to a trace of happiness in his heart. Fortunately, they are separated from Cheng Yue by a Kublai Khan and Haidu, otherwise who would want to bear the brunt of Cheng Yue's soldiers?
Cheng Yue continued: "The Great Khan has been a Khan for a long time, his position is firm, unshakable, and he has always been good to you, so don't do anything else." This time the Great Khan can let you go, and next time, even if the Great Khan is willing to forgive you, I'm afraid I won't be able to agree. β
Cheng Yue was already a naked threat, and the corners of his busy brother Timur's eyes jumped, and he finally endured the vicious breath that surged in his chest.
Busy brother Timur knew in his heart that the reason why Cheng Yue was so aggressive was because he didn't simply surrender just now and annoyed him. So he decided not to face Cheng Yue's anger and turned to Kutoulon.
Timur, the busy brother, glanced at Kutolun a few times and said, "Kutoulun, what did your father Khan promise Kublai Khan?" You tell me about it. β
Ku Toulon replied: "Father Khan promised to borrow 30,000 soldiers, rotate every three years, and Chaba'er will live permanently in Dadu, as for me, I will go to Lin'an with the journey." β
Everyone in the Golden Horde couldn't help but be shocked, and the pupils of the busy brother Timur shrank, and he stared at Kutoulon's face for a long time, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body. Xindaohai is really ruthless, and his vision is long-term enough, but he is still inferior to him.
In that case, then surrender with Haidu is not a big problem. Haidu's meaning of putting Kutoulun by Cheng Yue's side is very clear, the Cheng Yue in front of him may not be an enemy in the future, although Kublai Khan won a game, he also buried a bane for himself!
What he didn't know was that all of this was out of Cheng Yue's plan, and the sea was just pushing the boat along the water.
The busy brother Timur thought about it very clearly, and the expression on his face softened, and he said with a smile: "It was your father Khan who asked you to persuade me, right?" Okay, when our three khanates formed an alliance, we swore that we would advance and retreat together, and Duwa and your father Khan would both go to Jin to meet the Great Khan, of course I should go too, so let's go. β
Cheng Yue breathed a sigh of relief on the side, he was not willing to annihilate the army of the Golden Horde here, and his busy brother Timur agreed to surrender, so that all his ideas for this battle before the war could be realized, which could not be better for everyone. So he got up and said, "Then let me lead the way, and the Great Khan will be very happy to see you." β
Busy brother Timur also got up and said to Cheng Yue: "Take care of you." β
The two laughed at each other and walked out of the tent together. Timur, a busy brother, led 500 troops and went with him to meet Kublai Khan.
As soon as Cheng Yue and his busy brother Timur appeared in front of the battle, both armies immediately laid down their arms. The knife was put into the sheath, the bow was strung off, and everyone's face showed joy.
Cheng Yue climbed a high slope and shouted: "The battle is over, all the troops will return to the camp to obey the orders, bury the dead, and treat the wounded, there must be no mistake!" β
The sergeants on both sides shouted in unison: "Hurray! The cry resounded in the sky, and the war of the Mongolian Golden Family to mobilize hundreds of thousands of elites finally came to an end! (To be continued......)
