Chapter 239: Returning to the Nameless

Zhao Ta was interested in Hebula not because he admired his courage to resist the weak against the strong, nor because he wanted to form an alliance with himself, but because one hundred and eighty years later, his descendants produced a male lord, he destroyed Jin, Song, Western Xia, Pingzhuliao, Dali... Conquer Eurasia and sweep across Africa. Now people know that he is Genghis Khan Temujin of Mongolia when they hear it, but at this time, only Zhao Ta knows the secret of Lu Dao in the world, and he is very entangled, whether to let him go like Wu Qimai, or kill him to prevent trouble?

Zhao Tan was caught in contradictions, he knew that the Central Plains dynasties of the previous dynasties had a great headache for the nomads entrenched outside the Saiwai, these people lived in a nomadic life, came and went without a trace, basically there was no good way to deal with them, except for the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Tang Taizong Li Shimin had successfully defeated them, but they were only driven away, and failed to conquer.

Most of the time, there is nothing to be done about them, and most of them use harmony, or give some money and things to settle things. And these nomads are also singing and I appeared, driving away the wolf, the tiger, the Tuque, and the Wuhuan, Hui, Xianbei, Khitan, Jurchen... Generations of people have been fighting with the Central Plains nation one after another, and they have not been able to completely solve the national issue once and for all, and they are still following the old road of relaxation, tension, war, and relaxation.

Zhao Ta knows his hole cards, he is not a man who can overshadow the Tang Sect and Song Ancestors, but only has an understanding of history and knowledge that is thousands of years ahead, and he can't give a satisfactory answer to this unsolvable problem. He decided to meet this hero first, and also learned about the situation in Mobei by the way, so there was a scene of a separate meeting. He heard something from it......

After Hebule killed the Jin envoy and raised the banner of anti-Jin, this made Wu Qimai very angry. I was also very nervous, and my mind gradually cleared up. How similar is the situation he is facing now to that of Yelu Yanxi at the "Head Fish Banquet" twenty years ago, will Hebul become the Akuta of the Mongols, and his own Dajin Kingdom will also die at the hands of this person? Heavenly Cycle, the old man may be retribution for the Dajin Kingdom.

Wu Qimai, who had figured it out, decided to raise an army to fight and strangled the Mughul in the cradle while it was still fledgling. But at this time, the elite of the Jin State were all deployed in Yanjing and Datong, and many famous generals had fallen in the battle with Song, so he could only send domestic second-line troops to clear it. Hebul is not muddy, he takes advantage of the vast desert and grassland, and his own familiarity with geography. Adopting guerrilla tactics without a teacher, he defeated the Jin State's purging army in a row.

However, with the counteroffensive of the Song army, the forces entered Monan and controlled the Central Plains, and the economic blockade was implemented, the territory of the Jin State was greatly compressed, financial difficulties occurred, and the two countries entered a confrontation and had a short period of peace. The Mobei region, which was neglected in the past, has gradually become the backyard of the Jin Kingdom, an important source of taxes, can you let Hebul wander around in the yard of his own house? So Wu Qimai used this period to mobilize elite troops into Mobei, and the intensity of the clean-up became more and more intense. The days of Hebula are also getting more and more difficult, but they can barely hold on.

After the Great Song Dynasty took all the clouds and captured the Dading Mansion, Mobei changed from the backyard of the army to the front hall. Wu Qimai died of illness. He left the arduous task of going south to the Central Plains and dealing with Hebula to his nephew Wanyan Kang. After the young Son of Heaven negotiated peace with the Great Song Dynasty, he decided to take the Hebul sacrificial knife first, and he took Wanyan Saili as the deputy marshal on the right and Zong Ben as the supervisor to lead the Jin army stationed in Beijing Linhuang Mansion and Tunyu Xingzhong Mansion to go deep into Mobei to suppress the Mongol Wu Department.

The two armies are no better than the other. It was originally used to prepare for the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, and almost concentrated the elite of the Jin Kingdom. Wanyan Saili is also a fierce general who can fight habitually, and he is a soldier with enough food. It is a fierce pursuit of Hebula. At this time, he couldn't stand it, and he didn't dare to engage in battle at all, and the tribe was on the verge of splitting first. And Wan Yan Kang didn't seem to be strong enough, so he took advantage of the temporary inability of the Great Song Dynasty to go on the Northern Expedition and appointed Wushu as the commander of the left road to lead the Liaodong Jin Army to join the Qing Suppression.

Wushu was defeated by the Song Dynasty, in addition to strategic mistakes, it was also related to the sharp firearms in the hands of the Song army, and it was overwhelming to deal with the Mughul who also held bows and arrows, broadswords, and spears, and he also united with the nomadic White Tatar tribes in Mobei to send troops to bring Hebule to a dead end. The Mughul suffered heavy losses under the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Jin State, the herds were taken away, the tribesmen were killed, and some tribes that depended on them began to break away.

The Mughal tribe has reached the verge of extinction, although Hebul hated the Jurchens but was unable to fight again, he also thought of the future of his tribe, he was unwilling to perish, and looking at the world, the only one who can compete with the Jin Kingdom is the Great Song Dynasty. So Hebul poured all his strength into the clan and gathered some gifts and rushed all the way to the Great Song Dynasty, hoping to form an alliance with them to fight against the Jurchens...

Zhao Ta was very surprised to hear this, in his memory, when the Mongol Hebul Khan refused to enter the court, the Jin Dynasty in order to retaliate against the Mongols sent a large army to crusade against the Mongols, and adopted the policy of uniting with the Tatars to deal with the Mongols, and nailed the head of the Mongol tribe, Baba Khan, to a wooden donkey and brutally executed. Many young men were killed, many children and women were taken into slavery, and a large number of Mongols were abducted and sold as slaves to the Central Plains.

The policies of the Jin State provoked a fierce resistance from the Mongols, and under the leadership of Hebule, they fought against the Jin army, and in the area of Hailing, they suddenly attacked the retreating Jin army due to logistical shortages, and the two sides engaged in encounters. But at this time, the Jin army was already physically and mentally exhausted, and could not resist the main Mongolian cavalry force that was like a wolf and a tiger all over the mountains, and the Mongolian cavalry led by Hebule launched a bloody massacre of the Jin army.

It was not until the second year of the emperor's reign that the Jin State and the Southern Song Dynasty signed a peace agreement, and the southern threat of the Jin State was resolved, that Wan Yan finally decided to free up his hands to deal with Hebule. In view of the fiasco of the previous two conquests of Mongolia, Wan Yan decided to kill chickens with a knife, because at this time, Hebul had already controlled and conquered most of the Mongolian steppe tribes, and the total population of the entire Hebule force had reached 10,000 households, so Hebule was no longer a small fly that could be swatted to death, and he had to use all the strength of the Jin Kingdom to deal with it.

In order to eliminate the Mongols who dared to resist the Jin State, Wanyan ordered Wushu to select 80,000 elite troops from the Jianghuai and Shaanxi Sichuan fronts, and launched a fierce attack on the Mongolian steppe, and the two sides launched a fierce battle in the Mongolian steppe.

Wushu chose to take advantage of the fact that the Jin State still had a slight advantage in military affairs, and urged the Mongolian armistice to negotiate peace, and Hebul also thought that the current strength of the Mongolian tribes could not constitute a threat to the rule of the Jin State, and the Wushu was indeed a very difficult opponent, and it was very unfavorable to the Mongolian tribes to fight a protracted war. Based on the above considerations, the two sides reached an agreement, and the Mongol tribes received twenty-six walled cities and a large number of cattle and horses west of the Jinxiping River.

From then on, the Jin State focused on the Central Plains region and abandoned the Mongolian Plateau, but in order to prevent the Mongol tribes from constantly harassing the northern border of the Jin State, they adopted appeasement measures, and imitated the Song Dynasty in exchanging land and money for temporary peace. Later, Wushu began to build border fortifications to block the pace of the Mongol cavalry, from the northeast to the southwest through the entire territory of the Jin State to divide the desert into the south and the north, this is the famous Jin Dynasty boundary moat, the only Great Wall built by ethnic minorities in China.

In just over 30 years since the founding of the Jin Kingdom, the descendants of Aguta signed a peace agreement with a nomadic tribe that was extremely backward in terms of land and payment, and also built the Great Wall to defend against their opponents. However, the appeasement policy of the Wushu did have a great effect in the short term, and soon the Mongol tribes fell back into a situation of fragmentation, but there was no large-scale military confrontation between the Jin and Mongol tribes in the following decades.

What Wushu never expected was that more than 70 years later, under the leadership of Genghis Khan, the Mongols used the Wanggu people at the foot of Yin Mountain as guides to bypass the Great Wall of the Jin Dynasty from the west side and invade the Jin Kingdom, so that the Great Wall of the Jin Dynasty completely lost its defensive role and became the Jin version of the "Maginot Line", and the Mongols led by the descendants of Hebul became the terminators of their Jurchen Jin Kingdom...

Now there are two versions in history, the Mongols, who were supposed to be on the defensive against the Jin State, were instead broken away under the brutal military suppression of the Jin State and had to ask for help from the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Ta understood that it was his little butterfly that instigated the wings to cause the hurricane, and he expelled the Jurchens from the Central Plains again, and in turn the Jurchens had to continue to manage the one-third of an acre of land they had acquired. And the Mongols were unlucky, collapsed under the continuous suppression of the Jurchens, and failed to reproduce the style of history!

History is beautiful, reality is cruel, and I don't believe in any ifs at all. Now that history has been changed by itself, it is necessary to create a new history! At the end of the meeting, Zhao Ta had already made a decision, and now that history was being manipulated by himself, why did he need to get rid of Hebul and prevent Temujin from appearing! Besides, the Jurchens have come to an end, and they will dissipate in history. The world was at peace, and Temujin, who was born decades later, might have been like a famous general who was supposed to shine in the Battle of Song and Jin, just a happy mortal......
