Chapter 31: Hindrance of Temujin
However, he said that since the ambush of Temujin failed and Temujin escaped, Wang Han and Sangkun knew that Temujin was able to lead his troops to fight, and they were afraid that Temujin would lead his troops to take revenge, so they ordered their subordinates to be on strict guard. But after two days of guarding, he did not wait for Temujin's revenge army, but Du Shi, who had been captured by Temujin before, came back safely, and brought a heavy gift from Temujin.
Seeing that the envoy sent by Temujin was extremely humble and flattering, and hearing that Temujin had been seriously injured in the previous ambush, he thought that Temujin was too injured to take charge of the army because he was seriously injured, and he was afraid that they would be outnumbered, so he specially sent an envoy to subdue him, and he was immediately relieved, so he withdrew the defenders, and Lian Yueli drank and feasted in the tent with Wanyan Honglie and Zamuhe. Although Wanyan Honglie and Zamuhe felt that things might not be so simple, they couldn't think of anything wrong, and they soon got lost in the hospitality of Wang Han and Sang Kun.
After this day, Yan Honglie came back from the banquet from Wang Han, returned to the tent and was about to rest, when a sharp arrow broke through the tent and shot in, nailed deep into the log supporting the tent. Frightened, Yan Honglie exclaimed "ah".
"What's wrong with you, lord?"
"Are you alright?"
"Someone assassinated the prince and arrested the assassin!"
……
Seeing a strong arrow from nowhere shooting into the big tent, and listening to Yan Honglie's exclamation, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent, several pro-soldiers and guards hurriedly rushed into the tent, asking in surprise, and the rest of the pro-soldiers and guards were nervously tracking down the whereabouts of the archers. I can't help these people not be nervous, as Wanyan Honglie's personal guards, Wanyan Honglie's safety is related to their surname, if Wanyan Honglie has a good one, they can't be better, they all have to be buried with them.
Wanyan Honglie waved his hand at the guards who rushed in, signaling that he was okay, and his eyes stayed on the arrow nailed to the log of the tent.
At first, Wan Yan Honglie was also startled, thinking that someone was really going to assassinate him, but then he found that it was not the case at all, because he was wearing a strip of cloth on top of the sharp arrow that came in, and there seemed to be words on it.
Wanyan Honglie suddenly realized that there must be something here, walked over and pulled out the arrow nailed to the log of the tent, and tore off the strip of cloth to take a look, only to see a line of Chinese characters written on it: "Temujin is injured, be careful of sneak attacks." ”
Because since he was a child, he wanted to be able to lead the army south to destroy the Song Dynasty and let the Dajin Kingdom dominate the world, so Wanyan Honglie was familiar with the military books and strategies, and most of the military books and strategies were written in Chinese characters, so Wanyan Honglie was no stranger to Chinese characters. After reading the words on the strip of cloth, Wanyan Honglie was shocked: "Temujin is not injured?" Really? Could it be that it was all Temujin's trick to give gifts and make amends before? So who is warning me? ”
Wanyan Honglie immediately sent additional men to track down the traces of the archer, but no matter how he sent troops to search, he could not find it, only found that someone had seen a person shoot an arrow at his tent from outside the camp, and then rode away, as for who this person was, where he came from, and where he went, it is unknown.
Wanyan Honglie was puzzled, and couldn't figure out who warned him. Judging from the Chinese characters written on the strips of cloth, most of the people who reported the news were Han Chinese. It's just that there are not many Han people on the Mongolian steppe, and except for the four ghosts of the Yellow River that he brought, there are no Han people who are related to him, who will come to report to him?
According to the results of the investigation of his subordinates, the person who reported the news had shot arrows from outside the camp, and the distance was calculated to be hundreds of paces, and such a marksman accurately shot into his tent at such a distance, even among the Mongols who were good at archery, let alone the Han Chinese. As far as he knew, there was a Han man who was good at shooting by Temujin's side, the young man who single-handedly defeated all the four ghosts of the Yellow River that he had brought with him. It's just that since the young man had tried his best to protect Temujin before, he was naturally a diehard Temujin, so how could he report to him to warn him?
If this is a conspiracy of Temujin, then why did he write in Chinese characters instead of Mongolian characters? Besides, doing so can only make them more defensive and vigilant against Temujin, and it will not do Temujin the slightest benefit!
When the investigation and speculation were fruitless, Wanyan Honglie, out of prudence, still told Wang Han, Sang Kun and Zamuhe about the matter, and advised them to be vigilant and take precautions. However, Wang Han and Sangkun didn't care about this, because the matter of Temujin's injury was seen by Du Shi with his own eyes, and they were convinced, so they also persuaded Yan Honglie not to be deceived by the annihilation, and to eat, drink and enjoy as much as he wanted, and not to be suspicious for the sake of an unknown news.
After all, although Wang Han was canonized by the Jin State and legally belonged to the vassal of the Jin State, he was also the Great Khan of the largest tribe in Mongolia after all, and this was on other people's territory, he could only suggest one or two, if people didn't listen, he couldn't force the family to execute.
However, Zamuhe knew that Temujin was extremely wise, and he was also very treacherous in the use of soldiers, so after listening to Yan Honglie's words, he was a little more cautious, and ordered his soldiers and horses to be on strict guard to guard against other people's sneak attacks. And Wanyan Honglie saw that Zamuhe listened to his words, and he also had a good impression of Zamuhe, and was much closer to Zamuhe, and in consideration of his own safety, Wanyan Honglie even moved his royal tent to Zamuhe's military camp.
In fact, it was none other than Ling Muyun who sent a letter to Wanyan Honglie to the police, his purpose was very simple, that is, to make Wang Hanzamuhe and others take precautions, not to be defeated and annexed by Temujin as easily as in the original history, and it was best to fight with Temujin to lose both. Even if you can't, don't let Temujin win so easily, delay as much as possible the pace of Temujin's unification of Mongolia, and delay the time for him to expand outward, which can be regarded as a contribution that Ling Muyun has made to his own nation as a member of the Han people.
On the second day after Ling Muyun returned from reporting a message to Wanyan Honglie, Temujin tore off his disguised cowardice, summoned all the generals under his command, and asked the generals to gather a team to follow him to attack Wang Hanbu.
The generals looked at each other and were stunned, I don't know why, I was seriously injured and recuperated before and gave gifts to ask for peace, and now I say that I want to attack people, which play is this?
Temujin explained to the generals: "Wang Han has many soldiers, but we have few soldiers, and it is difficult to win the Ming War, so we must attack secretly. I released Du Shi, gave a generous gift, and then pretended to be hit by an arrow in the chest and was seriously injured, that is, to let them not be vigilant, so that we can sneak attack. ”
When the generals heard this, they all bowed down and praised Temujin's wisdom and scheming.
It was only then that Temujin ordered the release of the commander who had been beaten and imprisoned, and gave him a generous reward. When the commander heard that he was going to fight Wang Han and Sang Kun, he was overjoyed, bowed down to thank him, and begged to be the striker. Temujin agreed. At that time, the army was divided into three routes, stopped and stayed at night, marched from the valley around the path, met the herdsman, captured all the troops and marched with them, so as not to leak the military aircraft, and rushed towards Wang Hanbu, and when they arrived at the location of Wang Hanbu the next night, they immediately launched an attack on Wang Hanbu.
Wang Han did not expect that Temujin would come to attack at all, and his army was defenseless, and when it was suddenly attacked in the dark night, he immediately panicked, and was soon killed by Temujin's army and scattered in all directions. Fortunately, the Zamuhe army was on guard before, and under the leadership of Zamuhe, it withstood the surprise attack of Temujin's army at the most critical moment, and did not collapse with Wang Hanbu's army, but formed a melee with Temujin's army.
After a night of scuffle, both sides suffered heavy losses. Although Wang Hanbu had the most soldiers and horses, he also suffered the most losses because of the panic collapse, and most of the casualties were scattered, and when Tianming Wang Han finally regrouped the team, there were only less than two percent of the original left, and his son Sang Kun and grandson Dushi also died in the chaos. This is still because Zamuhe led the army to stabilize the situation, otherwise there would not be even this bit of men left.
Although the Zamuhe tribe was on guard, after all, it was the side that was attacked by the sneak attack, and because it was stationed with the Wang Han army, it was also hit by the rebellious army of the Wang Han army while bearing the blow of the Temujin army, and the losses were also very large, and more than half of the soldiers and horses were lost. Fortunately, he finally survived the night of scuffle, and after dawn, he joined up with Wang Han's remnants, and they barely had the strength to fight.
Although Temujin's troops were elite and good at fighting, and took advantage of the sneak attack, the loss was the smallest among the three parties, but they also lost thousands of soldiers and horses, which was equivalent to two or three percent of the total strength.
Temujin saw that the remnants of Wang Han and the remnants of Zamuhe were gathered together, and if he wanted to defeat them completely, he would inevitably suffer even greater losses, so he had to suppress the unwilling choice in his heart to retreat. And Wang Han and Zamuhe's department suffered heavy losses, and they were barely able to protect themselves, so how could they have the strength to pursue? Therefore, he could only watch as Temujin's army left.
After this battle, the original number one force in the steppe, Wang Hanbu, completely declined, and the Temujin department replaced Wang Hanbu as the first part of the steppe, and Temujin also became famous because of this battle, becoming a veritable first strong man on the steppe.
It was only because they were unable to completely eliminate the Wang Han tribe and the Zamuhe tribe that the two tribes formed a firm alliance against Temujin. After all, the two are the best in the grassland, and despite the heavy losses, the strength of the union should not be underestimated. Although it is slightly weaker than Temujinbe in terms of momentum, it is not something that Temujinbe can completely defeat in a short period of time. For a long time after that, the Mongolian steppe was maintained in a state of confrontation between the two powers.
Ling Muyun flapped his little wings slightly, but it made a huge change in the history of the Condor World.
