The day before yesterday, the quiver came to report that the expeditionary army of the West Road had broken through Shukou and looted on the West Sichuan Plain, and the looted property was almost equivalent to the sum of the three roads of Yanjing. He was even more anxious in his heart, only hoping that Tasi could shoulder the full responsibility of command, refuse to retreat, capture Xiangyang, capture Zheng Yunming alive, and slightly offset the guilt of letting the commander-in-chief die of illness.

Behind the screen, a fearful medical officer with a white head wrapped in a white hair walked out with a frightened look on his face, and whispered: "Allah is going to take this prince, please let the two generals go in and see him for the last time." ”

Startled, Tath reached out and pushed the doctor away, rushing in three steps and two steps.

The tent was filled with panicked slave girls and medical officers armed with various instruments, and the curvature on the soft couch had lost its human form, its cheekbones protruding, and its eyes were closed, like a camel dying in the desert.

Tath stepped forward, clasped his hand tightly, and called, "Anda? Anda? ”

When the two were young, they also learned to worship Anda on the banks of the Onen River, and remembered the happy time when a group of Mongolian children rode horses and shot rabbits when they were young, and Tasi couldn't help but feel sad.

Qu Chu heard someone calling, opened his eyes with the last bit of strength, and asked, "Did Zheng Yunming catch it?" ”

"Anda, please rest assured, with me one day, I will definitely catch this cunning fox back for you." Tath Wenyan was relieved: "We have been in the south for too long, let's go back to the grassland together." There, your illness will soon be cured, and we will be drinking and hunting together again. ”

His dull eyes suddenly had a little brilliance, and he murmured, "That green pasture, that boundless wilderness, so many cattle and sheep, so good horses, such beautiful girls, Tath, you see, Father Khan has come to meet us."

He babbled gibberish, his voice lowering, and Tath knew it was a hallucination from the last vestiges of his life, and he gripped his right hand, which was fading away in warmth, and began to chant in a low voice.

"The blue sky gave him muscles and bones, the earth mother gave him flesh and blood, Tengger gave him a name, the sweet mare's milk wine gave him strength, the child grew up little by little, the summer grass could not hide his figure, riding a vigorous green horse, holding the hardest sheep's horn bow, for the Great Khan to fight in the east and west, there was no time to stop and rest, year after year, ten years after ten years, when can I return to the beautiful grassland, when can I wander quietly?"

His mournful singing echoed in the bag, and the slave girls and the vultures were in tears, their curled hands getting colder and colder, and they finally closed their eyes peacefully as they muttered "fox, fox" in their mouths.

Zhang Rou heard Tath's singing behind the screen and stopped, and hurried in. When I saw the situation on the couch, I secretly screamed bitterly in my heart.

Tath stood up and shouted to the people, "Don't tell a word about what is in the tabernacle, or you won't survive!" Go down and rest, and when you are done with the king's affairs, I will have a golden reward for you." ”

The servants and the medical officers were both happy and frightened, and bowed their heads and exited the tent, and as soon as they came out of the Ao Bao, they were escorted by the cowardly Xue army of the guards and transferred to another vault.

When only Tath and Zhang Rou were left in the tent, Tath said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back: "None of the people in the tent just now can be left. ”

Zhang Rou resolutely replied yes.

"And the Han boatman who ferried the king across the river, the doctor who treated the king, and the slave girl who served the king, are they all in your control?"

"All of them have sent troops to watch over them." Zhang Rou replied briefly.

"These people also have to be disposed of, and you must not let Sinan Siren know the news of Qu Chu's death." Tath sighed and said, "Call in the rest of the tent, it's time to make a decision." ”

Several high-ranking generals outside the tent walked into the tent and saw the cold curved corpse on the soft couch, and there was a subtle silence in the tent.

The last one to speak was only Tasi, and he said in a low voice: "Now that the commander-in-chief has died of illness, and the Xiangyang City of the Sinan Si people cannot be attacked for a long time, the grain plundered in the field will soon be eaten up, and the south can no longer stay, how about pulling out the camp and returning to the north tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Rou stood up and said: "Today, the king of Quchu died of illness, Xiangyang is not allowed, and there is no rich capture, not to mention that the soldiers below have complained again and again, how to face the Great Khan after arriving in Helin?" It is better to motivate the soldiers, fight for another ten days, break Xiangyang, and take Xiangyang's belongings and Zheng Yunming to meet the Great Khan, maybe you can be forgiven by the Great Khan. ”

Tath looked around at everyone, Kuduhu and Copyi both showed dissatisfaction, but Liu Wei and Shi Tianze were eager to try, and Jiagu Liuqi and Yan Shi looked like they didn't care about themselves, obviously they had made their own plans.

He turned his head and asked, "Yang Weizhong, what do you say?" ”

Yang Weizhong was a young child captured by the Mongols during the first southern expedition, and was a slave under the Wokotai tent since he was a child, and he was quite trusted by Wokotai. It can be said that Yang Weizhong's opinion actually represents the position of the Mongolian nobles in Helin.

Yang Weizhong shook his head and said: "The style of a great country does not necessarily have to immediately capture such an important town as Xiangyang, first Genghis Khan captured Zhongdu for five years, King Muhuali spent ten years in order to capture Fengxiang, Xiangyang can't be defeated this year, and he can come again next year, the most important thing is to escort the body of King Qu out back to the grassland, so that his body can return to the arms of Mother Earth, every day in the south, this damn weather will make his body decay." This is the greatest insult to the Mongols. ”

Zhang Rou snorted slightly, the young man in his thirties in front of him was originally a good Han in the Guannei, since he became a slave of the Mongols, he was favored by his master, and at a young age he was already above the generals who had fought for the Mongol Empire for ten years. He also understood that this was a long-standing tradition of the Mongol tribes, who had not yet reached civilization, and that they had the vulgar characteristics of primitive tribes. They didn't understand what it meant to be in the eyes of the Mongols, Yang Weizhong was in charge of the army as Hehan's personal slave.

Zhang Rou is not laughing at his official position higher than himself, he is laughing at the fact that he is obviously a Han person, and now his style of acting and thinking have been completely Mongolianized.

Shi Tianze hurriedly said: "That's not what I said, even if I couldn't capture the city in previous years, I could still capture a lot of raw mouth, cattle and horses, grain, and treasures. This year, except for a few small cities, there are no more big cities, almost nothing is found in sweeping the countryside, and there is no way to attack the cottages of the Song people. It's not just that it's terrifying, in previous years the enemy was conquered, and after each year of the battle, the enemy weakened, and its strength gradually became no match for our army. Today's Song people are different, according to their table last year, and what they described by the Jin people and the inherent experience of our army. At most, their combat strength can huddle in the city, and even if they go out of the city to meet the battle, they only dare to turn their backs to the city walls, and form a formation with their infantry in a trembling position, fighting the idea of fleeing back to the city as soon as they are unfavorable. Now the firearms of the Song people in the city have increased several times compared with last year, and the infantry army relies on the power of firearms, and its courage has become stronger, and it dares to send reinforcements to try to relieve the siege of Zhou County. Zheng Yunming's rule of the army is indeed terrifying! Today, we hastily collected our troops and returned, and when we come back next year, no one can predict what kind of powerful monster Zheng Yunming will become. In that case, even if it is better to pay a few more casualties today than to make him a scourge for ten or twenty years. ”

Tath waved his hand: "This is not a man's words, what about Sinan Si people having firearms?" When I was on the steppe, the army of the Great Khan had nothing but bows and arrows, knives and guns, and later entered the Central Plains, and it was not the same as learning, with banners, artillery carts, ladders, and firearms. What about Zheng Yunming's growth? Our Mongolian army will only be stronger than him, we must not only form a firearms corps that is much larger than him in terms of power and quantity, but also build a powerful naval army, suppress the Sinan Si people in every aspect, and then smash Zheng Yunming's military horse with the momentum of an eagle attack! ”

He said this, and everyone did not dare to refute it, it is true that firearms are not unique weapons in the Song Dynasty, and the Jinguo town guarded the pass city with the help of firearms, and the Mongolian army in the south also carried a lot of firearms. But this crude firearm is at best used to set fire to smoke and make a strong noise. How could Zheng Yunming's department set off muskets and cannons, and the sound was like thunder and bullets, and the person was killed immediately. As for how to possess the magic weapons such as Zheng Yunming's firearms and generals' cannons, even if Mongolia had 720,000 craftsmen captured from the Jin Kingdom, none of them could solve the mystery.

Tath asked again, "What do you think of the bonding of the mountains?" ”

The eight-character beard on the side of Chongshan's mouth trembled, and said in a flat tone: "Zhang Degang's eagerness to make meritorious service is understandable, but it is not a secret, and now the army has only 20 days of food stock. You can think carefully, do you have the ability to capture Xiangyang City within 20 days? If you have this certainty, you will do your best to attack, if you don't have this certainty, you will not be able to eat grass to live. ”

He was the man in charge of the grain, and he knew best the amount of money and grain, and he said that there was only twenty days' worth of grain, and no one would doubt it. In fact, this is because the grain and grass in the north were delivered in time and after the plundering of Jinghu to obtain a part of the grain, when the grain and grass were relatively abundant, the Mongols rarely carried enough grain and grass to fight, the Mongolian soldiers and horses carried a part of the cattle and sheep themselves, and the rest of the Han soldiers carried dry food for ten days at most, and the rest of the insufficient part relied on robbery. If it weren't for the fact that this time he absorbed the Han official construction yì, he raised some grain from the north and transported it to the front. According to this plunder, the small amount of food was obtained, and even if it was not for the major event of illness and death, the Mongol offensive had reached the point where it was unsustainable.
