Gao Huaiyuan didn't expect Qiu Tong to answer like this, so he coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then said to him: Today's weather is not bad, but it's a little hot, hehe! It's getting late, so let's go back to the city!

Looking at Gao Huai's back, Qiu Tong smiled slightly and muttered in a low voice: I don't believe how long you can be hard-mouthed! Hum! God is really unfair to me, if I met him, why is it so late? Qiu Tong's expression darkened a little again

Just when Gao Huaiyuan was busy dealing with the affairs of Jingdong, thousands of miles away from northwest China was also in the midst of a fierce battle, the Mongol army, under the leadership of Genghis Khan, the greatest leader in the world, defeated the army of the Western Xia Kingdom and retreated.

There is also a reason why Genghis Khan attacked Western Xia on a large scale this time, and Genghis Khan had conquered Western Xia three times before his Western Expedition and forced Western Xia to submit.

From the twelfth year of the Western Xia Qing that is, the first war against the Western Xia in the history of the first year of the Kaixi of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Western Xia army was defeated, and then plundered people and animals and returned, Hengzong Li Chunyou ordered to repair the destroyed city to defend against the invasion of the Mongol army, and the following year Xiangzong Li An launched a coup d'état, abolished Hengzong, and changed the policy of attaching to the Jin State and began to attach to the Mongolian State.

However, the Western Xia's subservient did not bring them peace, the Mongol army fought for many years, and had to recruit the Western Xia army to go out with the army, and also asked the Western Xia to provide grain, straw, assets and other things, so that the Western Xia State could not bear it, the relationship between the Mongols was repeated several times, and tried to unite with the Mongolian tribes as enemies to resist the Mongols, as a result, Genghis Khan sent troops to conquer the Western Xia several times, and the Western Xia ended in a big defeat.

During Genghis Khan's western expedition, Western Xia did not actively send troops to fight together, and sent people to Mobei to contact the unsurrendered tribes against Mongolia. After returning from the Western Expedition, Genghis Khan learned that the Western Xia intended to rebel and moved his army to attack Shazhou (present-day Dunhuang, Gansu). Li Dewang, the king of Western Xia, promised to be a vassal and relieved the siege of Shazhou. Subsequently, the Western Xia refused to send the proton and accepted the Mongol enemy, the son of Qu Luhan, the barbarian, to drink Xiangkun. Genghis Khan finally decided to destroy Western Xia.

Genghis Khan launched a war of extermination against the Western Xia in the first year, Xia Xianzong Li Dewang made up his mind to resist the invasion of the Mongol army, and sent troops to fight with the Mongol army repeatedly, but it is a pity that the current Xixia State is no longer as strong as when Yuan Hao founded the country, in the long-term political erosion, the army of the Western Xia State has long had no combat effectiveness, whether it is the Iron Harrier Army they are proud of or other armies, it can be said that they are vulnerable in front of the Mongol army, and the result is naturally a series of defeats, In this year, the Mongol army commander drove straight in, conquered the important towns of the Western Xia State one after another, and in this year, successively captured Suzhou, Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Lingzhou, and entered the siege of Zhongxingfu, the summer capital (now Yinchuan, Ningxia).

Poor and ambitious Xianzong Li Dewang, under the offensive of the Mongol army, finally could not hold on, died of fear, and passed the throne to Li Yan before his death, and now Genghis Khan is leading a 100,000 Mongol army to carry out the final stage of the attack on the Western Xia Kingdom.

At this time, Genghis Khan received a letter from Polu, informing him that this time Polu led his troops into Jingdong, and under the appearance of the Song army, he declared a complete defeat.

Genghis Khan was naturally taken aback when he heard the news, he never thought that the Southern Song Dynasty, which had been weak for a hundred years, would suddenly become strong at this time, and actually rushed ahead of him and controlled the land of Jingdong, which had not been able to control for decades, it can be said that this news greatly exceeded the expectations of him and everyone under his command.

For this reason, Genghis Khan immediately convened his think tank to discuss what to do next for the land of Jingdong.

It can be seen from Polu's letter to Genghis Khan that Polu's eastward expedition suffered a lot of losses, and only about 10,000 people returned to the starting place of the 30,000 troops, and in more than half of the time, almost half of them were lost, and more than 10,000 people were lost under the Song army alone, which was undoubtedly a great shame for their Mongols.

So the generals under their command who heard the news immediately divided into two factions, one faction urged Genghis Khan to immediately mobilize a large army to send troops to Jingdong, punish the Song army, and capture the land of Jingdong and put it in their Mongolian pocket.

However, another group of people did not agree with them, and the most important thing in Mongolia now should be to end the war between Mongolia and Xia as soon as possible, and sweep away the forces of Western Xia resistance as soon as possible, and their biggest enemy at the moment is not the Song people, but the Jin State that has oppressed them for more than a hundred years, and the Southern Song Dynasty is just like them, and the Jin State is a bitter and bitter lord of the Jin State, if you want to destroy the Jin State, now is not the time to turn against the Song people, once the Song and Jin countries are forced to form an alliance, Then there will be a huge obstacle to their destruction of the Jin Kingdom in the future.

This group of people is considered knowledgeable people, they know very well that although the Jin Kingdom is now declining, but the starving camel is bigger than the horse, and they want to destroy the Great Jin Kingdom for a while, and their Mongolia is still unable to do it at the moment, not to mention the Southern Song Dynasty that has been in the south for a hundred years, you must know that the richest country in the world is the Southern Song Dynasty now, if the Jin State is supported by the Southern Song Dynasty at this time, with the unrivaled financial support of the Southern Song Dynasty, God knows whether the Jin Kingdom will not rise again, so that it will be a disaster for them to destroy the Jin Dynasty in the future.

Genghis Khan was not a mortal after all, not to mention his brutality, at least he was a very broad-minded leader in this world, and he was very strategic, and his majesty and strategy could not be erased by anyone, no one can deny this.

Although Song Jun's behavior was undoubtedly a provocation for him, which made him feel very unhappy, and even a sense of humiliation, he was not blinded by anger because of this, after calming down, after analyzing the suggestions of the subordinates of the two factions, he finally decided to swallow this breath for the time being, and temporarily stopped sending troops to Jingdong, and went to fight another war with the Southern Song Dynasty.

Genghis Khan is a great man in the end, he knows very well what he should do at the moment, who is the biggest enemy in front of him, and he also carefully analyzed the dynamics of the Jin Kingdom, from the Song army sent troops to Jingdong, completely controlled the land of Jingdong, he found a big problem.

That is the movement of the Jin State for a period of time, although he is leading the troops to attack the Western Xia Kingdom, but he has been paying close attention to the movements of the Jin Kingdom, this time the Jin Kingdom is very problematic about the Song Army's response to the Jingdong Army, the action reaction to control the Jingdong, it stands to reason that the land of Jingdong was also their territory of the Jin Kingdom, although over the years because of the Red Jacket Army, they have lost control of the Jingdong, but nominally the land of Jingdong is still their territory, and the strange thing is that this time the Song Army sent troops to Jingdong, After conquest of Li Quan and then sent troops to control the entire Jingdong, the Jin State seemed to be asleep, and did not react at all, but increased the strength of the border for the defense of the Mongols, ignoring the actions of the Song army at all.

And Genghis Khan has also learned that the new gold lord Wanyan Shouxu is very different from his father's style, since he ascended the throne, he has worked hard in the Jin country, and has promoted a group of good warriors, led the army to confront the Mongols, and enabled the Neng Chen, who was deposed by his father, to come back to work, and to make a good alliance with the Southern Song Dynasty, and began to defend against their Mongol army to the south.

In this way, it is not good news for him, the Great Khan of Mongolia, no one wants the monarch of their enemy to be a virtuous person, this Wanyan Shouxu is obviously much stronger than his father Wanyan Xun, if it was this Wanyan Shouxu as the gold lord in the early years, then I am afraid that when their Mongolian army deals with the Jin State, it will not be so smooth.

Undoubtedly, this Wanyan Shouxu's reaction this time is tantamount to acquiescing in the return of the land of Jingdong to the Southern Song Dynasty, and he made it clear that he does not want to offend the Southern Song Dynasty now, but goes all out to devote all the energy of the Jin State to dealing with their Mongolian State, which is a very wise choice, and from the perspective of his governing policy, Wanyan Shouxu has completely abandoned his father Wanyan Xun's strategy of being an enemy of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is equivalent to sending a generous gift to the Southern Song Dynasty.

And if now he is dizzy and gives up the most important thing at the moment, because of the defeat of the Polu army, he will gather a large army to crusade against the Song army, it can be said that he is in the hands of the gold lord Wanyan Shouxu, he will not allow such a situation to happen, he has fought countless battles in his life, and now his sensitivity to politics has matured, so Genghis Khan finally chose a temporary compromise.

After thinking about it for a long time, Genghis Khan finally gave Polu an order not to mobilize troops and horses and send troops to Jingdong for the time being, but to restrain his subordinates, and explicitly ordered them not to enter the actual control area of the Song army for the time being, so as to reduce the friction between the Mongols and the Song people.

Therefore, after Polu's retreat, there was no reaction from the Jin country's side, so the Jingdong area was temporarily calm, which was indeed good news for Gao Huaiyuan.

The reason why Gao Huaiyuan dared to lead the army and Polu's Mongolian army this time to give it a go, in fact, to put it bluntly, Gao Huaiyuan was also the result of some careful consideration, and he also saw that Genghis Khan was busy with something now, and he would not easily change his established strategy, and at the same time, he also saw that the biggest enemy of the gold lord Wanyan Shouxu at the moment was not their Song people, but the Mongolian country that had threatened the survival of their Jin country, so he was so bold to let go and do a big job in Jingdong.
