Puxian Wannu turned out to be the Jiedu envoy of the Jin State, responsible for the war against Liaodong. Later, taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, he rebelled against Jin and stood on his own in Liaodong, proclaimed himself the king of Liaodong, established the Great Zhen Kingdom, and changed the Yuan Tianqin. The Dongzhen Kingdom rebelled against the Mongjin and existed for a total of nineteen years.

Until three years ago, a year before the defeat of the Kingdom of Jin. Wokotai finally couldn't bear this scourge that repeatedly disturbed the Mongolian border in Liaodong, and sent his eldest son Guiyou as the commander-in-chief, sent 100,000 troops to take Liaodong, broke the resistance of Puxian Wannu, and killed him.

"The left wing is in charge of the red." Kublai Khan shook his head again: "From Zhongjing of the Jin State to the east, it is all within the scope of the Red Expedition, we are guarding the stove army and horses, and it is impossible to dispatch easily without the order of the Great Khan." ”

On the grassland, there has always been a tradition of deploying war zones according to the direction, usually with the south as the front, the north as the back, the east as the left, the west as the right, and the center as the military horses guarding the stove. In the past, Mu Huali served as the left hand of ten thousand households, acting on behalf of the Great Khan to conquer the Central Plains, and was named king. In fact, the scope of its strategy is roughly within the scope of responsibility of the left-hand army.

Today's left-hand army of Wanhu is according to the chi, and he is in charge of the strategy west of Liaodong, and Kublai Khan could not have received his support without the order of Ogedei.

"It's even more impossible to go south. Qu Chu, Broad End and Mouth Warm are already the established commanders of the Southern Expedition, and the next expedition will still depend on them. Kublai Khan sighed: "The way out of the expedition is impassable, what else can I do to keep me safe?" ”

"That's the best policy, if it doesn't. There are also middle strategies available. Song Yichang said: "The king is currently living in Mobei as a soldier. Right next to the Great Khan. Although the Great Khan claims to have 10,000 cowardly Xue people, except for these 10,000 elites, the others are all subordinates of the king. This was certainly a dangerous place, but it also proved that the Great Khan was at ease with the king. All the king has to do is wait. ”

"Wait?"

"It's just one and the same. Wait for the situation to change and wait for the opportunity. ”

"That's too negative."

"When I say wait, I'm not sitting still. We can do a lot of things, such as spreading eyeliner around the Great Khan while we wait, waiting to contact the kings of the Chagatai and Jochi clans, and slowly weakening the strength of the Okotai clan while we wait."

"But I'm afraid that before the situation changes, the Great Khan and his sons will attack our brothers." Kublai Khan said with a twisted eyebrow. "Time is not necessarily on our side."

"As a last resort, there is only one way to go." Song Yichang lowered his voice, but at this time, Kublai Khan was already engrossed in listening to every word he said, and what he said was clearly heard in his ears.

"Choose 10,000 people who dare to die, tie up with life and death, in case of accidents, first pretend to be cowardly Xue rebellion, capture ten thousand households, and then attack Gan'er Duo in one fell swoop" He slashed his right hand down and said: "It's just a story." ”

When Mao Dun Shan Yu was still the eldest son of Lao Shan Yu, his father Tou Manshan Yu did not regard him as the only heir, but fell in love with another son born to the Zhong Yan clan. On the surface, Mao Dun did not show the dissatisfaction of his father's partiality, but silently trained the soldiers of his headquarters. He chose a kind of beeping sound in flight as his command tool, emphasizing that the finger of the piercing is the target. Everyone must fire their bows and arrows at the target in unison.

Maudun first shot his beloved horse with a Ming Di, and everyone was shocked, and Maudon immediately ordered the soldiers who did not dare to shoot the bow to be beheaded, and everyone had to shoot Maudun's beloved horse to death with a bow. Soon after, Mao Dun suddenly shot Ming Di at his beloved wife, this time more soldiers did not dare to raise their bows, Mao Dun did not hesitate to order all soldiers who did not dare to shoot arrows, all immediately killed. In the midst of the frightening confrontation, the crowd opened their bows and shot the Maudun clan to death. Since then, Mao Dun's orders have been like a mountain, and even the sword mountain and the sea of fire cannot stop the advance of his subordinate iron cavalry. Finally one day, Mao Dun took advantage of his father's head man Dan Yu to go hunting, and shot Ming Di at his father, the supreme leader of the Huns, Mao Dun's subordinates fired ten thousand arrows, and shot head man Dan Yu into a hedgehog on the spot. Since then, Mao Dun has seized the position of Shan Yu, killed the head Manshan and his beloved Yan family and son, and became the master of the grassland.

The Mongols compared themselves to the descendants of the Xiongnu, but there was no written language in the steppe to pass down history. Therefore, Kublai Khan did not know about this section of the Xiongnu case, and Hao Jing only slowly told Kublai Khan the records in Han history in Mongolian.

Kublai Khan heard this and asked, "Later, when Mao Dunshan governed the steppe, how did he govern?" ”

Hao Jing said: "Mao Dunshan Yu is also a great hero on the grassland, when he first took charge of the Xiongnu Department, the Xiongnu were not much stronger than when Genghis Khan first became the leader of the Qiyan Department. At that time, the Xiongnu country was strong in the east of the Donghu country, with 200,000 elite soldiers, and the Dayue clan was brave in the west, with 150,000 elite soldiers, and there were less than 100,000 elite soldiers in the hands of Mao Dun. ”

"The king of Donghu has enough soldiers and food, and he does not take Mao Dunshan in his eyes. When Shan Yu had just succeeded to the throne, he sent someone to ask Shan Yu for his most cherished BMW. Everyone was unhappy, thinking that the war horse was a companion of the warrior, how could it be easily given away? Mao Dunshan Yu said, I am about to live in peace with the king of Donghu, how can I cherish a horse? The matter was immediately approved. ”

"That's not right." Kublai Khan said: "A good man cherishes his war horse more than his own body, how can Mao Dun be so weak, in the face of the enemy's threat, so respectful and obedient, he is not an eagle of the steppe, at most a fierce harrier." ”

Hao Jing said: "Don't worry, the story is not over, the second year King Donghu felt that Mao Dun Shan was weak and could be bullied, so he sent someone to ask for Mao Dun Shan Yu's favorite Yan clan." The Hun generals were in an uproar on the spot, could it be that the male lord of the steppe couldn't even keep his beloved woman, and wanted to give it to others for insult? Immediately, some people claimed that they would raise a large army and fight to the death with the king of Donghu. Mao Dun immediately beheaded the general, and said: I really want to live in peace with the king of Donghu, how can I have a bad relationship with the king because of a woman? So he gave it to the king of Donghu. ”

Kublai Khan pondered and said: "It is understandable to say that he loves horses, and even the woman he loves is given to the enemy. ”

Hao Jing said with a smile: "What the king said is not bad at all, in the third year, the king of Donghu has all the famous horses and beauties, and there are no more requirements." It's just that there are thousands of miles of wild grassland between the Xiongnu and Donghu, and there are no tribesmen to live, so the king of Donghu sent someone to inform Mao Dunshan Yu that he wanted to assign these lands to his subordinates and arrange for some tribes with insufficient grassland to be stationed in it. ”

Kublai Khan said casually: "That Maudun is even willing to give up famous horses and women, what is there to be reluctant to give up thousands of miles of wasteland?" I promised it by all means. ”

Hao Jing suddenly raised his voice and said, "The king is thinking badly!" After listening to what the messenger said, Maudun was furious and said: "Land is the foundation of the country, how can you easily deal with people!" Immediately pushed the envoy out and beheaded him, and then gathered all the generals and used the whole Xiongnu army to cover the place of the king of Donghu. The king of Donghu thought that this was a trivial matter, and he did not dare to disobey, and he was completely unguarded against the Huns, and was smashed into the camp by the Hun army in one fell swoop, and he was killed on the spot. In addition to the famous horses and beautiful characters sent by Mao Dun, even the elite soldiers, people, and land of Donghu were all returned to Mao Dun Shan Yu. ”

Kublai Khan exclaimed: "What a deep plan, what a quick decision!" It is indeed the style of the grassland heroes, the king of Donghu is too confused, although the other party shows weakness, after all, there are 100,000 soldiers in his hands, if I am the king of Donghu, when the border is in danger of ambushing 10,000 soldiers and horses, send a thoughtful general to guard, and then use camel patrols day and night to patrol the direction of the Xiongnu, these do not use much Donghu resources, but can cut off the threat of the Xiongnu invisibly. ”

Hao Jing said: "Even among the Mongolian athletes, the king is also an unborn talent, so how can the arrogant king of Donghu be compared with the king?" Let's go back to that Mao Dun Shan Yu. Mao Dunshan fought in the first battle and merged with the Donghu tribes, and his heart was naturally proud. But when he let his guard down, he forgot that there was a formidable adversary in the west. In the third year of Maudun's annexation of Donghu, the Donghu tribes rebelled, and Maudun risked sending most of his troops and horses to the east to suppress it. As a result, the Dayue clan took the opportunity to invade the Xiongnu with an army of 100,000 to the east, and defeated Mao Dun, who had insufficient troops in his hands, and even his own palace tent and beetle were robbed by the Dayue clan's soldiers and horses. Maudun fled to the east with only a few cronies and a retinue. ”

Kublai Khan nodded: "The moment when a person is victorious, it is the moment when he is most paralyzed. The fox caught the rabbit in the burrow, thinking that he had a plan, but he did not expect that the bow and arrow of the good hunter were aimed at it. In addition to the cheers of victory, remember to keep one eye on the other enemy. ”

Hao Jing smiled approvingly, and continued: "When Mao Dun fled to the east, he was in a state of embarrassment, and he swore to Changshengtian that he would take revenge!" At that moment, he told the few remaining subordinates that he must catch the king of the Otsuki clan with his own hands, cut off his head, and make a wine bowl with his skull, so as to repay today's shame. At that time, everyone was running for their lives, how could they take Shan Yu's words seriously, they just thought that he was venting at will. ”

"Having found his army in the east, Maudun immediately reorganized his army and counterattacked to the west. At this time, something went wrong with the Dayue clan, his king and the deputy king were at odds, and the deputy king took some of his men and horses with him. So the two armies fought for three days and three nights on the side of the Onen River in the hometown of the Xiongnu. At the most critical moment of the battle, Mao Dun drew a Ming Di and shot towards the King of the Great Moon Clan, and his subordinates rushed towards the King of the Great Moon Clan like a torrent, and the King of the Great Moon Clan saw the fierce enemy coming, and involuntarily became afraid, turned around and rode away from the battlefield. The Otsuki clan was defeated, and the soldiers and horses fled in all directions. The king of the Otsuki clan fled halfway and was killed by his own soldiers, and his head was given to Mao Dun Shan Yu. Shan Yu really fulfilled his oath and made the skull of the King of the Great Moon Clan into a wine bowl, avenging the shame of being attacked that year. ”
