Volume 2: Return to the Homeland (1)

This cold compress fever reduction method was the most basic medical common sense in later generations, but people at that time thought it was very strange. Hebul came to see a few times, but only Shen Tuo was confused, sighed a few times secretly, and made people prepare for the future, although it is a grassland, but there are also a lot of sparse trees, he ordered someone to cut a few, find a carpenter to beat into a coffin, be sure not to make this Song emperor die too shabby.

It's just that when I was preparing, I thought that my real money would definitely fail, and I couldn't help but feel a pain in my flesh.

Who expected that this Shen Tuo had a big life, and the high fever did not go away at the beginning, but fortunately, he had been using cold water to compress his head and control it, and Hebule sent people to risk to the border to buy some herbs, so that the Song people could boil them themselves and feed them to Shen Tuo to drink.

A few days later, Shen Tuo finally began to have a fever, and he was picked up.

The weather was very good on this day, but Hebula's mood was extremely gloomy. He thought about it, the person who could discuss big things here was the sick Shen Tuo. No, he had to ride his own horse and run from the Mongol camp to Shen Tuo's residence.

The Han people camped, but they were more elaborate than the Mongols, although they dug the ground for the air, but they were covered with dry cloth and dry grass, and the roof was built with tree trunks to protect them from the wind and rain.

When he arrived at Shen Tuo's side, he saw him eating with a clay bowl. Hebule stepped forward to take a look, frowned and said: "In the past few days, I have hunted a lot of wild things, there are all kinds of yellow sheep and roe deer, the emperor has just recovered from his illness, how to eat this brown rice, drink this vegetable soup, what is this!" ”

Paused to his feet, he shouted at his companions: "When did the Mongols have such a rule, eating meat by themselves and letting the guests go hungry? ”

Shen Tuo swallowed a mouthful of food and hurriedly said to Hebule: "Don't, this meal is still your hard work, I asked people to bring it, not because you treat it lightly." ”

Hebule Qi said: "Could it be that this is better than meat?" ”

Shen Tuo said with a smile: "The initial recovery from a serious illness is like the initial planting of a sapling that should not use too much fertility, otherwise it will be counterproductive." It's not that it's better than meat, it's just that I have to eat it. ”

"I don't understand you Han Chinese." Hebule muttered, sat down cross-legged in front of Shen Tuo, and watched Shen Tuo eat with interest.

Shen Tuoyuan also ate almost, and when he saw him like this, he put the bowl down and smiled at Hebule: "What's the matter, the Great Khan is in trouble?" ”

Hebul nodded, "Not bad." I just got the news, and I was distressed, so I came to talk to the emperor. ”

"Oh?"

"Our matter has stabbed a big leak, the emperor of the Jin State was furious, issued an edict to recruit soldiers, let Wanyan Zonghan lead, and vowed to destroy my Mongolian beggar Yan Department."

Shen Tuo remained silent, and only asked, "How many soldiers and horses do the Jurchens want?" ”

He Bule frowned and replied: "I heard that we will recruit soldiers and horses from all departments, plus the Han army and the Khitan army, a total of 100,000 people. ”

He patted his leg and shouted, "I can recruit 30,000 cavalry, but it is difficult to win with 100,000 opponents." ”

Shen Tuo shook his head and said: "The territory of the Jin Kingdom is now large, and there are many elite Jurchen soldiers who stay in the south and are on guard with our Song people. You Mongols are not under the Jurchens, but they are waiting for the enemy to attack, waiting for leisure, what is there to fear? Even if you can't win, you won't lose. ”

Hebula just shook his head, his face wrinkled as if he could wring out water.

He really had a real headache. Of course, what Shen Tuo said is reasonable, but the soldiers are in danger, how can there be a reason to win? I'm afraid that in terms of numbers, it is reasonable that the beggar department will be defeated. Even if it can win, it will be a miserable victory. This time he offended the Jin Dynasty so badly that it was difficult to ensure that the Jin people would not send troops again. Jin Guo is consumed, how many times can the beggar department withstand the toss?

Thinking that his talent would be put into flowing water, he was so distressed that he wanted to pull his beard.

It's just that in front of this weak Han emperor, he deliberately wants to maintain his dignity, and in addition to the fact that he can't hide it in his expression, he refuses to show too much distress.

When Shen Tuo saw him like this, he also knew that this person really had no way, so this was the case.

Yin said: "Great Khan, I have some ways to make your troops retreat without losing too much. ”

Hebule was overjoyed, jumped up, waved at Shen Tuo, and said with a smile: "Would you like to hear about it?" ”

He was overjoyed, but he actually dragged the text, and Shen Tuo also laughed. At that moment, he sat down and elaborated on the so-called sixteen-character mantra towards Hebul.

"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase ......"

He Bule pondered for a long time, and then slapped his leg heavily and exclaimed, "It's really wonderful! ”

Shen Tuo nodded and said, "Not bad." The sky and the earth on the grassland are vast, what is the use of 100,000 golden soldiers? Besides, the ministries will not let them run amok, and they will certainly harass them more. It is not easy for them to supply food and grass, so they must find the main force of the Great Khan and fight quickly. Then, if you don't fight them head-on, and hide from him, if he is in camp, you will harass him, and when he is tired, you will beat him. He withdrew his troops, and did not let him return in peace. If the Great Khan follows this strategy, I expect that there will be 100,000 soldiers, and at most half of them will be able to exit the steppe alive. In this way, the Jin people knew that they were powerful, and they would only strictly guard the border in the future, and they would no longer dare to enter the steppe to compete with the Great Khan. ”

"Haha, if it is really as the emperor said, in the future, the Qiyan Department can become the master of all departments, and it will definitely send an army of 100,000 to help the emperor crusade against the Jin Kingdom!"

Shen Tuo nodded, but did not answer the other party.

In fact, such a strategy was the usual technique of the Northern Yuan when the Ming army was fighting with the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The Ming army came, the main Mongol force disappeared without a trace, the main force of the Ming army left, but the Yuan army made a comeback. Until Lan Yu was in charge, he surrounded the remnants of the main force of the Yuan army near this fishing sea and annihilated them in one fell swoop. In addition to the crown prince of Emperor Yuan Shun, who fled alone, even the jade seal was lost to the Ming army, and from then on, it could no longer become a unified force that threatened the Ming regime.

He sneered slightly, and said in his heart: "Give you the sixteen-character mantra, you can deal with the golden soldiers, but you can't deal with other grassland tribes." If I can conquer the Kingdom of Jin, the next step is to make the grassland no longer hear the howl of wolves. Do the whole steppe sweat? Dear friend, I can't help you then. ”

Hebul didn't know what he was thinking, he only felt that the other party's sixteen-character mantra was really wonderful. With a smile on his face, he spun in circles, like a madman.

After half a ring, he remembered that he had received a great favor from the other party again.

At this time, the Mongols retained a simple style, and when they were favored, they must have something to repay. Shen Tuo saved the lives of him and the tribal soldiers, and he took the trouble to escape with Shen Tuo, and the two were even.

However, Shen Tuo borrowed troops, but he said that he would repay the gold and silver in the future. At this time, he helped him break the enemy's clever plan, but he felt very guilty in his heart.

Because he said to Shen Tuo: "The emperor's plan is really wonderful. I have this sixteen-character decision, and the enemy Jurchens have no effort. It's a pity that my tribe is too weak now, and I really have nothing to repay the emperor. ”

He rubbed his hands again and again, only to feel extremely embarrassed in his heart. After half a ring, he said to Shen Tuo: "The emperor is bent on returning to the Central Plains, and borrowing a hundred soldiers is nothing." If I send the emperor 300 cavalry, and 20 good men with high martial arts skills will be that Ke'er, I won't have to come back in the future, so I will stay in the Central Plains to help the emperor fight! ”

Shen Tuo's heart was also happy. Originally, it took a lot of money to make the Mongol Khan agree to send troops to send him back to the Song realm, and he returned. And after returning to China, he had to face the reality that Zhao Gou had ascended the throne as the emperor, but he was very worried that the other party was acting like this now, and when he first returned to the Song Realm, he had an absolutely loyal armed force at hand, which was really a great help.

stood up at the moment, hugged his fists towards Hebule, and said with a smile: "This is really a great joy, thank you for the Great Khan!" ”
