42, Shada Khan

Shada Khan is very depressed!

The news from the front came that the army was defeated!

Mudorata spent two days in the camp, but the final result was still only one way to retreat. But retreating is much more difficult than attacking, and it will be inappropriate to let any tribe act as a defender, and if it is not done well, it will become a big rout.

Once the hundreds of thousands of troops are dispersed, the Xia army along the way will become a sharp blade to stab the thorn army, but there is no way, and in the end, Mudorata can only reluctantly admit defeat and withdraw the army to return to the thorn.

Shada Khan was also very depressed when he received the news of the defeat and withdrawal of the army.

This Great Khan was not recognized by the tribal leader in the first place, and this big defeat will be even more difficult to manage in the future!

In the third year of Xining, with the total annihilation of King Huai in Huritu, it did not cost 30,000 cavalry, and the 200,000 army of Huathorn to the south was wiped out, and the entire Huathorn had to retreat a thousand miles from the border, until Sumu settled down.

At that time, the khan failed and could not afford to fall ill, and died of illness in Sumu two years ago, that is, in the seventh year of Xining.

For the Great Khan of Thorns, his favorite is still his eldest son, Sullivan, who is a very calm and courageous leader.

He is also very prestigious in the Thorn tribe, especially because he has a deep understanding of the Han people, and has found a Han master to learn Han culture since he was a child.

The second son of the Great Khan, Shabala, was a rough man, extremely brave, and could rank at least in the top three in terms of force in the thorns, and was now the leader of the Great Khan's personal guards, responsible for the safety of the Great Khan.

The Khan's youngest son, Shada, is completely different from his two older brothers, and is a somewhat insidious and intelligent man.

His mother came from the Ebony tribe, one of the four major tribes of Thorn, and the current leader was Shada's maternal uncle.

Before his death, the Great Khan summoned several tribal leaders of the Great Thorn to the Great Horde, and officially announced that the eldest son, Sullivan, would succeed the Great Khan of the Golden Horde.

Several tribal leaders present also approved of the Great Khan's decision, and when things reached this point, there was no surprise, and all the leaders were relieved to participate in the succession ceremony of the new Great Khan.

But the accident happened!

I don't know if it was the Great Khan's announcement that made Sullivan let his guard down, and that night Sullivan discussed things with his subordinates again.

A team of heavily armored cavalry suddenly appeared around the big tent, and didn't give any chance to the people inside, directly sprinkled the entire big tent with fire oil, and burned the eldest prince Sullivan and all his companions to death in the big tent with a single fire, which is not ruthless!

Next, the second prince Shabala was sent directly to Kaqadhar, thousands of miles away, by Shada, and asked him to herd sheep!

It wasn't until the ebony leader Lei Zhen appeared on Shada's side that several tribal leaders understood what was going on!

Although Shada Khan said that he ascended to the throne of Khan, he also knew that it was not easy for his Great Khan to sit firmly in the Golden Horde, and for this person, who could help the tribe occupy more territory and have food to eat, it was a good Great Khan.

Two months ago, in the Golden Horde, Shada Khan decided to send troops south after secret negotiations with several ministers.

After several tribal leaders discussed the route and made strict arrangements, Shada Khan asked the thorn general Mudorata to lead an army of 500,000 tribes to the south under the commander.

It is said that it is 500,000, but in fact it is less than 300,000 young and strong, and there are a small number of followers, including many captives and slaves.

This sudden attack of the thorn was planned for half a year, completely avoiding Yulin, an important defensive place of the border army.

They set out from Sumu in June, traveled thousands of miles along the edge of the desert area, suddenly appeared outside the border pass, and then directly broke through the defense of Wuning.

And Wuning was located in the middle of the two border armies, which just hit the soft underbelly of the border defense and attacked the Central Plains from the weakest point.

Shada Khan really couldn't figure out how such a well-planned sudden attack, with 500,000 horses, was suddenly defeated, and it was defeated so quickly.

Isn't Mudorata known as the most powerful general of the thorns, how can he not have the original brave power. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't sat firmly in the position of the Great Khan and didn't dare to leave the Golden Tent easily, he would have prepared to go south in person this time.

Thinking about this defeat, Shada Khan couldn't figure it out.

"Great Khan, it's not entirely a bad thing, when Mudorata comes back, he can only go to herd sheep!" At this time, Lei Zhen, the great leader of the ebony who was on the side, suddenly said something headless and brainless.

"What do you mean......" Looking at this little uncle who had been helping him, Shada's heart moved.

"Great Khan, now you lack a little prestige, and you lack a lot of faithful servants."

"The wolf cubs down there are all staring at it!"

"However, after this defeat, isn't my prestige even lower?"

"Great Khan, all the strategies this time are right, and our early assault has also worked, which shows that all the responsibility is not in the Golden Horde, but in the command of Mudorata, he did not seize the fighter plane, and failed to open the pass at the most critical time, this is the reason for the defeat, it is that he made a mistake in arranging his troops."

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for that old guy who had been delayed in the Shenmu Salt Water for so long, at least he could have taken down Ansai, and at least he could have recovered a lot of supplies, which was his responsibility."

"Great Khan, but, Mudorata is worthy of being a veteran, not bad, and finally being able to withdraw with the army can be regarded as atonement for a little sin, here I will ask him for mercy, don't ask for the guilt, just put it in Kakadar to herd sheep."

"Alas, yes, he still made great contributions, so I won't blame him this time!"

The two of them decided on a countermeasure, and only then did they feel a little relieved.

Three months later, Mudorata returned to the steppe, but before he could plead guilty, he was directly arrested by the Great Khan's personal guards.

Mudoratayas was an old sparrow, and he immediately understood that he had become the biggest bearer.

But he himself knows that this time he is not wronged, he is to blame, it is really his own responsibility, it is not that he has delayed time at the border gate, how can he have a bumper harvest this time.

The most important point is that there will never be such a big loss, and the tribesmen must hate themselves to death.

Now he could only beg the Great Khan to punish him alone, not to exterminate his family.

Therefore, he did not have any intention of resisting, nor did he want to defend anything, he took all the charges and let his family contribute most of his property, he hoped that this would relieve his sins.

His idea proved to be feasible, and although several tribal leaders hated him to the core, the Great Khan pardoned him for his capital crimes and let him follow the second prince Shabala to the northern desolation to expand his territory.

No one expected that this would have been a deathly act of exile, but it would have given Shabala and Mudorata an excellent chance to rise.

Shada Khan didn't even think that the northern desolate land was not a place where people could not live, nor was it the kind of person who could freeze to death by standing outside the house as many Han legends suggested.

Although it is not the Central Plains, where the wind and sunshine are beautiful, the four seasons are distinct, but the land is fertile, go out to graze, you can grow barley here, and there is more water, in fact, sometimes, it feels much stronger than the desert.

Wu Wang Zhao Jiong was sick again during this time, lying on the bed in a cold sweat and his face was pale.

There were two people standing next to the bed who looked like Lang Zhong, and there was one sitting on the stool, who were frowning and catching King Wu's pulse, with a serious expression on their faces.

"Lord Wang, it should be the wind and cold in the body, why don't you give you a few injections, go to the cold, take a few more decoctions, keep warmer a little more, it should be a while later, the weather will get warmer."

The doctor who was sitting in the hospital whispered.

"Then you don't hurry up, and I don't know what you imperial doctors want you to do, every time at this time, the prince will get sick."

The one on the side seems to be the housekeeper of the palace, and he is not polite at all.

Several imperial doctors didn't dare to argue, so they first pricked King Wu with a few injections, and then got together to discuss it softly and prescribed a prescription.

After a period of tossing, King Wu finally fell asleep. Several imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly withdrew from the bedroom at the housekeeper's signal and went to their own residence to rest.

In the middle of the night, King Wu finally woke up again, and the maid who was waiting on the side hurriedly came forward and asked King Wu what he needed.

King Wu first asked for a little water to drink, and then motioned to the maid to give him a little head pillow, and ordered to call the palace housekeeper to come. asked the housekeeper not to report his illness, and ordered the housekeeper to let everyone go out and call a guest in the house.

"Mr. Liu, you don't need to comfort me, several imperial doctors should also know in their hearts, in fact, I know my own illness, now I want to help my father do something in the last period of time, and do something for Da Xia!"

King Wu looked at Mr. Liu, as if he knew what he was going to say, and directly refused to let him say it.

"For twenty years, you have done your best, I may not see it, but I am not reconciled."

"Lord Wang, I'm useless, I haven't thought of a way for so many years, the sky is really blind."

When Mr. Liu heard King Wu's words, tears flowed directly from his eyes, and he stopped saying those useless words.

"I can survive this time, I am already very grateful to God, you don't have to complain, God can still leave me the last time, I want to cherish it!"

At this time, King Wu was thinking very clearly.

"Mr. Liu, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I haven't told you something, in fact, I've made some arrangements in the early stage, but I don't have enough time, so I can only advance it, can you help me once."

"Lord Wang, please instruct, as long as you can do it, you will not hesitate to break your bones!"

"That's right, you're going to help me do one thing next, I'm really worried about others."

King Wu took a breath, pulled Mr. Liu, and said a few words softly.

Mr. Liu's face was full of astonishment, and he stood by the bed for a long time and didn't come back to his senses!!
