Most of the ministers also think that peace is convenient now. So Jin Aizong issued an edict: the former imperial historian Wanyan Hazhao was the peace envoy and went to Western Xia to see Genghis Khan...

In the city of Chuzhou, the senior bandits of the former Li Quan gang: fellow party Liu Qingfu and his brother Li Fu decided to fight among themselves in order to confess their hearts to the Southern Song Dynasty, and I am not all the way with Li Quan, who surrendered to Mongolia! So on June 1, Li Fu pretended to be sick, summoned Liu Qingfu and killed him, and dedicated his head to Yao Chong, the Huaidong envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The next thing is to deal with Yao Chong. Due to the rebellion of Xia Quan, the accumulation in the city of Chuzhou was exhausted, and the program was not continued. Li Fu repeatedly asked Yao Chong for money, but Yao refused on the grounds that the imperial court had not surrendered. In this way, Li Fu successfully provoked public anger and conspired with Yang Miaozhen to summon Yao Chong to the mansion for a banquet. and summoned Yao's guest Du Rai on Yao Chong's order, and invited Yao Chong's two concubines in the name of Yang Miaozhen. When Du Lei walked to the Bazi Bridge, he was beheaded by Li Fu's soldiers. Next, rushed into the banquet to kill Yao Chong. Yao was fortunate to be protected by Li Quan's subordinates, and then shaved off his beard, left the city late at night, and fled to Qingyuan Mansion in Mingzhou, Liangzhejiang East Road, where he died soon after.

In June, the Southern Song Dynasty officials were completely disappointed by the successive turmoil in Chuzhou, and finally made a 'wise' decision: from this moment on, Jiangbei would no longer set up a system and construction department. Give up Huainan and strengthen the Yangtze River defense line! Chuzhou no longer built the Kaifu Mansion, so Yang Shaoyun was the nominal pacification envoy and envoy. Chuzhou was renamed Huai'an Army, and Zhang Guoming was sentenced to defend the power. Regard it as a fetter state, just like the party item of the year, and no longer regard it as the land of the Southern Song Dynasty!

Of course, this also completely cut off the food and salary of the local rebels! This move proved to be the most ferocious, and the rebels were in chaos all at once! They were already hungry people, tortured by war and hunger, and they had no choice between life and death, so they chose to rebel, just for a bite of food! At this time, the government completely cut it off, which made them completely riot, and never listened to anyone's orders again!

Chuzhou is unprecedentedly crazy, Li Quan's family is small and his cronies can no longer be settled!

Month. Jin envoy Wanyan Hazhao arrived at Liupan Mountain and saw Genghis Khan asking for peace.

At this time, the Western Xia, which was about to destroy the country and extinct the species, was no longer worried. Genghis Khan, whose life was coming to an end, was concerned with only three things:

First, the Southern Song Dynasty! This country is destined to be conquered! It's not about the desire to conquer, it's about necessity! The territory of the Mongol Empire had reached a scale never seen in human history. At this point, annexation has become a trend, and even self-restraint cannot be stopped! Not to mention why restraint?

Second, the country of gold! No matter how much the history books emphasize how much failure Jin Xuanzong abandoned the central capital to protect Henan, and how damned it was, but at least this really set up enough obstacles for the Mongols!

Take the Yellow River as a risk and Tongguan as a fortress. The solidity of mountains and rivers cannot be repeated! It is not impossible for the Mongols to overcome these natural dangers, but the cost is too high for any new empire to afford!

However, Genghis Khan was already confident at this time, but the time had not yet come, and the highest military secret was only hidden in his own heart, which was the most secret and sudden! These will be his last words as a generation of Tianjiao who has stood at the pinnacle of military exploits in the history of mankind!

Thirdly, his sons! The world is vast and there are many people, and Genghis Khan promised his sons that he would open up huge territories as much as possible and give them them. I thought at that time. This solves the age-old problem of dividing family property? But the Mongol tradition of fratricidal cannibalism determines a qiē! What's more, at this time, things have already gone unexpected! Jochi, to be exact, his eldest son! This stubborn son has been angry for many years, and finally said goodbye and flew away. On the Kipchak steppe, which is as far away as the horizon, he has laid a territory almost no less than the size of Mongolia itself!

In this way, the question arises: where will the co-masters of the Mongol Empire be created in the future?

Therefore, Genghis Khan gave the former Western Liao Kingdom to his second son Chagatai, hoping that he could block the way back of Jochi! Isolate the influence of the Kipchak steppe forever north of the Amu Darya River!

Meantime. Genghis Khan also whispered to the future Mongol Great Khan's Ogedei and favorite youngest son Tulei: You must always remember: you must never let the Golden Horde and the Chagatai Khanate of the Kipchak steppe become one! In that case, Horin (where the capital of the Mongol Empire was located at this time) would no longer be the place to call the shots!

After doing this, Genghis Khan was still not at ease. He's going to strangle the possible hidden dangers in the cradle while his health still allows him to dominate the empire! So, he sent someone to recruit his eldest son, Jochi, to meet him! Jochi once again refused!

Genghis Khan's heart turned gloomy according to reason, and his worries finally became a reality! Jochi, this child who was not his "own" finally had a different heart and no longer regarded himself as a Mongol! Then, he wants to get Jochi back on track! When he thought about it like this, Genghis Khan's body was on the verge of collapse, and for the first time in his life, he couldn't ride a war horse!

A generation of Tianjiao was helplessly lying in the felt tent, with five layers of blankets stacked under him, but he still felt like lying on the ground and was stiff and cold! He knew he was running out of time! And at this time, a piece of news came at the right time!

Thousands of miles away in the Kipchak steppe, his eldest son, who had survived a hundred battles and was in the prime of life, died suddenly!

Jochi is dead! His death is a mystery in history. It is recorded that when Genghis Khan recruited him, he was really sick, and not resentful, and cut himself off from the Mongols... But Genghis Khan really ordered Chagatai to arrest him!

And when the army of Chagatai was about to make its way, the news of Jochi's death came! This devastated Genghis Khan's heart! Looking back on his life, his eldest son was never truly happy! Genghis Khan's illness became even worse as a result!

Of course, there is another version: when Genghis Khan's conscription order arrived in Kipchak, Jochi was holding a huge hunt. When night falls and the bonfire is lit, everyone arrives at the Golden Dome Tent, but the host of the banquet is absent... He was found in a long patch of grass, and Jochi was dead! He was lying in the grass with a broken waist, his eyes wide open, staring at the black sky...

Jochi died in an assassination! Who's in charge? Who can do it? Everyone has the answer in their hearts, and it's just about to come out! But first, there is no evidence, and second, all the Mongols refuse to think so!

Jochi was only 51 years old when he died, and the successor to the throne of the Kipchak steppe was his 20-year-old second son (but sister-in-law). Batu! The young boy rode his father's horse and stood on a high slope, promising his Mongol warriors as his grandfather had done that he would lead them over the mountains and over the swamps, breaking through a single obstacle and conquering the cowardly race to the edge of the sea!

This kid does what he says! He is the eldest son of the eldest son of all the Mongol golden bloodlines in this generation. And his desire to fight will provoke the world's boiling, unprecedented, glorious epic of conquerors! That is the second Mongolian expedition to the west that will forever go down in history, also known as the eldest son's expedition to the west!

When Genghis Khan knew this, his mood was agitated and complicated. He blessed this grandson and sent Subutai, the only remaining veteran of the Mongol army and one of the 'Four Heroes', to the Kipchak steppe to help the young Batu gain a foothold...

In June, Zhongxingfu, the last city in Western Xia and the capital, finally couldn't hold on! The party members are like being abandoned by God, and bad luck comes one after another!

Outside the city, the wolf-like Mongolian army has been besieged for more than half a year, and the food in the city is exhausted, and the soldiers and civilians are sick and poor... And that's not all! There was even a strong earthquake! After the earthquake. The plague was rampant in Zhongxing Mansion, and people and animals died, becoming a huge ward. And outside the Zhongxing Mansion, it is also a white bone cover!

Forced by the shape shì, the 10th emperor of Western Xia, the late Xia Emperor Li Wei came to Liupan Mountain and took the initiative to ask Genghis Khan to surrender! And put forward an additional condition: Li asked Genghis Khan to give him a one-month grace period. When the time comes, he will personally announce the demise of Western Xia, and he himself will be at the disposal of Genghis Khan...

Genghis Khan sneered. Quasi-drop! But he had already made up his mind: the day when Li Li came to Liupan Mountain for the second time, that is, when the Western Xia was destroyed and the species was wiped out! He hated this capricious, two-faced scoundrel race! Chop like kraft candy and can't be torn! He was convinced that even if the courage of the party members was broken at this time, after the crisis, this race would still make small moves behind the scenes... It's in nature!

It's a pity: Genghis Khan can no longer wait for the day when Li Li will come to Liupan Mountain for the second time! He had reached the end of his life! This moment. He was accompanied by his beloved concubine and his favorite young son Tuolei...

July 12, 1227, 22nd year of the reign of Taizu of Mongolia (August 25th of the Gregorian calendar. This day is also the author's birthday. Exactly 753 years after Genghis Khan's death, the author was born on the same day and in the same month. Sometimes I often can't help but wonder: will I have any relationship with Genghis Khan? Hehe... The 66-year-old generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, and Xiao'er is only a catty. Temujin died of illness in Sarichuan (and legend has it that Li Li presented Genghis Khan with a Western Xia princess on a secret mission. And on the day when Genghis Khan and the princess of Tangut were in the same room, the princess of Tangut cut off Genghis Khan's male root, which caused Genghis Khan's death! However, the author does not believe in such legends) left a few last words before his death:

The first is to ask his sons (especially his favorite young son Tulei) to absolutely obey the leadership of the new Great Khan and his third son, Wokotai. Brothers should cooperate sincerely;

The second is to block the news of death and keep it secret. Waiting for Li Li to come and surrender, he carried out a genocidal slaughter policy in the entire territory of the Western Xia! Kill all the party members, burn all the qiē things, and wipe out all the qiē traces on the earth about the party and the Western Xia;

The third is to secretly teach two or three people such as Wokotai and Tuo Lei (or Yelu Chucai) that he personally formulated the plan to destroy Jin: "The elite soldiers of the Jin State are in Tongguan." According to the mountains in the south and the big rivers in the north, we can't beat it. If the false way is in the Song Dynasty, the Song and Jin feuds will be able to allow me. From this way, you can attack the Tang and Deng Zhuzhou on the Nanjing Road of the Jin Kingdom, and directly threaten Kaifeng City! At that time, the Jin State was desperate and would inevitably transfer troops to Tongguan. However, with tens of thousands of people, thousands of miles to help, the men and horses are tired, the combat effectiveness will be greatly damaged, and it will be broken. In this way, the Jin country will have no soldiers to fight, and it can only destroy the country" This strategy is not quite like that formulated by the Mongols. In my impression, the Mongolian iron cavalry crushed a qiē with pure combat power! You don't have to use any intrigue to bring the whole world to your knees!

Of course, this is not true! Compared to their combat prowess, the Mongols may have better intelligence! Later generations would have pointed out that Jebe and Subutai led a team of 20,000 men to sweep through the countries of Khorasan, Persia, Azir-Byzambi, Arab, and Iraq, and to the north of the Taihe Ridge (present-day Caucasus Mountains), defeating the combined forces of Azov, Lesge, Xueerkesi, and Kipchak-Gatai, and then destroying the Aras army in the valley of the Nepel River (present-day Dnieper)... and so on an unbelievable long list of achievements, I must think that the Mongols are brave and natural, and they are natural warriors!

That's right! But in the meantime, Jebe and others frequently used counter-division, discord and other tactics to disintegrate the enemy coalition forces from within again and again, and only then did they achieve the brilliant and incredible victory above!

Therefore, the plan to destroy the gold that came out of Genghis Khan's mind must be outwitted, and it will never be only brute force!

After that, it was the late Xia Emperor Li Li who came to Liupan Mountain and officially surrendered to Genghis Khan! As a result, he was killed on the spot by Tuo Lei! Then, the Mongol army began to carry out genocide in the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom, killing all the people of the party and robbing all the treasures! (To be continued......)
