Chapter 160: Mongolian Countermeasures

However, a few days later, Meng Zongzheng did not wait for the court's commendation, but waited for a secret report from Lin'an City. The imperial court was determined to make peace with the Mongols, and wanted him to go north to the steppe and surrender to Temujin!

It seems that the forbidden army mobilized by the imperial court before was just to soothe people's hearts, and they were still extremely afraid of the invincible Mongolian army, Meng Zongzheng sighed, and immediately thought of the old Yue Fei in his mind, and was completely disappointed in the Song Dynasty, and directly set up the banner of the Northern Expedition to Heluo and Yanyun.

As soon as the news came out, countless warriors in the martial arts rushed to Xiangyang and joined the team to resist the Song Dynasty and destroy Mongolia and recapture Yanyun. As Xin Qiji guessed, most of the people in the Central Plains can't stand the Southern Song Dynasty court that blindly seeks peace.

They were just waiting for a person to ascend to the heights, and there were many responders, under the call of Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong and other top martial arts masters, in just over a month, the entire Jingxiang land was occupied by Ye Lingfeng and others. And the number of troops that can be mobilized within Xiangyang City has reached as many as 250,000.

In the golden tent of the grassland on the other side, the news that Tuo Lei led the army to attack Xiangyang and failed to desert came back, and the forward general died, and Temujin, who had been invincible, looked at the kneeling commander in front of him, only to feel that his eyes were black, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

He boasted that his Mongolian iron cavalry was unstoppable, and this time he let his favorite Torre be the supervising army, and took the forward to use the old routine to grind the temperament of the defenders of Xiangyang City, the original plan was that the Xiangyang side was hindered by the gap in strength, did not dare to shoot, only dared to defend passively, and waited until their rear army arrived under Xiangyang City, and then attacked in one fell swoop, breaking through the city of Lin'an.

In the golden tent, everyone was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to look, "Call the doctor, call the doctor!" "The sons of Temujin, such as Jochi, Chagatai and Ogedei, were shocked, and although they had the intention to compete for the position of Great Khan, even though Temujin had now made Ogedei his heir, the outstanding Torre and others were still strong competitors.

At this time, seeing Temujin vomiting blood, Jochi's heart was shocked, and at the same time, some different thoughts immediately rose. A moment later, under the first aid of the Mongolian Langzhong, Temujin woke up slowly.

Since he returned from his western expedition to Western Xia, Temujin has gradually felt seriously ill, and originally wanted to capture the Great Song Dynasty when he was still in good health, but now the vanguard is invincible, and the army of 10,000 people sent out has returned less than 3,000 people, what a loss is this?

Their Mongolian iron cavalry attacked the Dajin Kingdom, and at most there were only more than 1,000 troops lost, and now they have not gone to Lin'an City, just one Xiangyang, so many people have been lost, and they are all his grassland people, which is really sad.

"Guo Jing, Guo Jing, call Jing'er, call my golden knife and horse!" Temujin couldn't help but tremble.

Although Guo Jing is the husband of Temujin's favorite daughter, after all, the daughter's family is an outsider when she marries, and at this time, their sons must first gather around Temujin to wait for the summons, and unless Temujin personally asks for an audience, they are not allowed to enter and leave the Golden Tent of the Mongol Great Khan at will.

Guo Jing took Hua Zheng to Temujin's side, this Genghis Khan's eyes swept the surrounding sons, and they immediately retreated to the side, although Temujin liked his son-in-law, but Akagi and the others knew that in the future, Temujin's position could only be passed on to a few of their brothers.

Hua Zheng is no matter how favored he is, he is just a princess at most, and he is not a threat to them, not to mention that Guo Jing grew up in the grassland since he was a child, and he has friendships with several brothers, plus he is very righteous and very comfortable to get along with, so a few people have no opinions, and happily accept them as a brother-in-law.

What's more, since ancient times, the most favored in the royal family is the daughter's family, and several brothers are very fond of this sister, and they also take care of this young couple. Maybe in the future, when Temujin dies, one of them will succeed him, and he will have to bother this brother-in-law to be a cow and a horse to fight for them.

"Jing'er, these bastard boys, I know that they are often thinking about my current position, so this battle against the Great Song Dynasty, I hope you can go in person, knowing that you are a Song person, and you have also returned to the Central Plains before, and you must still have some feelings there."

"Therefore, I can promise you that if I can successfully break through the Great Song Dynasty in the future, I will hand over the entire territory of the Southern Song Dynasty to you and your husband and wife to manage, and I don't care about anything else, the people and the people, I will not let the army kill on a large scale."

"I only have one thing, before I die, I want to see the situation of Mongolian unification, what about the future generations, I don't have that extra mind to care, Jing'er, after all, you married a Huazheng girl, now you can no longer be regarded as a pure Han, not to mention that you grew up in Mongolia since childhood, this is your home, I must hand over this battle to you, just be... My final test for you. ”

Guo Jing looked at Temujin blankly, he didn't know what to say for a while, he returned to Mongolia this time, just wanted to marry his fiancée Hua Zheng who grew up with him, and then he could retreat to the grassland and not ask about political affairs, so although he still felt a little guilty about the Central Plains, but after all, he did not personally lead the troops to fight, and it was not disgraced to his Han blood.

But at the moment, it seems that he still thinks too little, as Temujin's son-in-law, a generation of people who are valued by Genghis Khan, how can he stay away and immediately take a back seat? His face was heavy, and he really couldn't give a positive answer, and Hua Zheng on the side looked distressed when he saw her husband like this.

She was a new wife, and she should not have come to such a place with a heavy military atmosphere, but because she was concerned about her husband, she still followed, and at this time, Hua Zheng saluted her father again and again, for fear that he would be angry because of Guo Jing's attitude, but who knew that Temujin not only didn't care much, but also asked Hua Zheng to take Guo Jing to retreat to the Golden Horde, he wanted to be alone.

After Guo Jing and his wife left, Temujin sighed and said: "Three, although I have always trusted your decision-making, but this time I really want to ask the reason, I clearly promised Guo Jing's mother before, if he marries Zheng'er, I will never let him intervene in the military, this move is a big violation of my promise." ”

"Three, forgive me for being unreasonable, although you have been kind to me, I Temujin am by no means a fool who will be held back by others. I'd like to hear an explanation of your decision, or I'll have reason to think you're trying to sow discord between us. The consequences, I think you understand—" He said at the end, and there was a chill in his tone.
