The biting cold wind howled outside the tent, the snowflakes flew chaotically, and the tent was as warm as spring, but it was difficult for everyone to see joy.

"Abu, why don't you retreat. You will cultivate well in Liupan Mountain, and when your body is well cultivated, you may have captured Lingzhou City and Zhongxing Mansion! ”

Torre said pleadingly.

Attacking Lingzhou City, their sons and generals are enough, and Genghis Khan can recuperate with peace of mind, and he doesn't have to spend time in this ice and snow.

"Great Khan, let's retire! Tang Wuti only had Xing and Ling Mansions left, which was similar to the dead country, and if he wanted to attack them, he had a chance. ”

Yelu Chucai was uneasy, but he also persuaded him.

Western Xia lost Hexi and the northern border towns, leaving the land of Xingling, with a population of two or three hundred thousand, barely surviving, and there was no need to attack so urgently.

After resting for half a year, looking back and working hard, isn't the dead summer still handy?

Ogedai glanced at Torrey, who was full of concern, and Yelu Chucai, who was cautious, and then looked at Genghis Khan, who was stubborn, and did not say anything.

With Genghis Khan's hatred of the Western Xia, if he did not destroy the Western Xia, he would never retreat.

On weekdays, Genghis Khan ordered his soldiers to shout before every meal, saying that they must kill all the people of Western Xia and level the land of Xingling in Western Xia. With Genghis Khan's personality and temper, he will not destroy the Western Xia and will never withdraw his troops.

"Don't persuade! Take Lingzhou City, and the soldiers will come to the city of Zhongxingfu, and I will go to cultivate again. ”

Sure enough, Genghis Khan said hatefully, stubbornly and did not listen to the persuasion of others.

"Chahan, that Li Deren of Lingzhou City is stubborn, you go into the city again and persuade him to surrender. Tell him it's his only chance. ”

Chahan only promised and hurriedly responded.

Kaecheng surrendered, this is probably the last chance for Lingzhou City.

"Abu, don't worry. If Li Deren does not surrender, we will knock down Lingzhou City. With the strength of our Mongol army, it is not easy to break the city. ”

Ogedai said on the side, relieving Genghis Khan.

Angry and hurtful. Genghis Khan was furious, and he had to be relieved that his father would not be angry, so as not to worsen his condition.

"Great Khan, Zhongxing Mansion has not sent reinforcements yet, I am afraid that it has made up its mind to abandon Lingzhou City. Li Deren, the abolished prince, guarded the city, and I am afraid that he will not give in easily. In my opinion, let's build siege equipment and prepare for the siege. ”

The Mongolian fierce general, Qianhu Ashulu, shook his head, and seemed to have no hope of persuading Lingzhou City to surrender.

"Love doesn't fall! A small Lingzhou City, the stone thrower smashed it all over, see how he Li Deren guards? ”

The first fierce general of Mongolia, Subutai, was full of confidence in capturing Lingzhou City.

"Since Tang Wuti himself has given up Lingzhou, then take Lingzhou City and let them rest assured! Ashulu, Subutai, if there is no movement on Chahan's side, the city will be attacked immediately tomorrow, and after the city is broken, the sword will not be sealed for seven days! ”

Sure enough, as expected by Ogedei, Genghis Khan categorically gave the military order to attack the city, and it was also a massacre after the war.

"Great Khan, don't worry!"

"Yes, Great Khan!"

Ashulu and Subutai were overjoyed and received their orders together.

If you don't seal the knife for seven days, you can have fun.

"Everyone, listen up!"

Genghis Khan's eyes became cold, and all the generals in the tent stood up and stood solemnly.

"All go back and prepare for the siege battle, and once the Tang Wuti people refuse to surrender, they will immediately attack the city tomorrow. Remember, cut off that Li Deren's head for me! ”

Genghis Khan admonished with a gloomy face, and everyone received the order and retreated.

With the support of his favorite concubine, Genghis Khan lay down, staring at the charcoal fire in the tent, faintly distracted.

In any case, the Xia Kingdom will be destroyed. I don't know, will Changshengtian let me wait until that day?

"Great Khan, if you don't let Wokotai and them attack Lingzhou City, I will accompany you to Yanzhou River to recuperate. You still have to take care of your body! ”

stayed by Genghis Khan's side every day, and was also frightened by Genghis Khan's health.

"It's okay, when Lingzhou and Zhongxing Mansion are captured, I will go into the city to cultivate. I don't feel restless when I don't watch them attack the city. ”

Genghis Khan said softly, his face full of tiredness. He lay down for a moment, and then suddenly sighed faintly.

"Mu Huali is dead, Borshu is dead, and my Jochi is gone. Is it my turn too? ”

Genghis Khan muttered to himself, but he heard it clearly, and he was terrified.

How could Genghis Khan, who was stubborn and ruthless, sigh so much?

"Great Khan, you can rest assured. You'll be fine. ”

He also stepped forward, covered Genghis Khan with a blanket, and persuaded softly.

"What can I do? I want to destroy the Tang Wuti Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, and I will also go west to kill all the way to the seaside and the sky, so that this world is the territory of my Great Mongolian Country! ”

Genghis Khan's eyes suddenly widened, and he said proudly, startled.

"Good, good! Conquer the world, and the whole world belongs to the Great Mongolia. ”

Then he persuaded softly, and when he saw Genghis Khan fall asleep and no longer speak, he sat aside and was alone in a daze.

The Mongol army was going to destroy the Western Xia, and the Western Xia people would never give up easily, this war was protracted, and Genghis Khan's body was getting worse day by day.

If Genghis Khan had a good one, where should the Great Mongolia go? What kind of fate greeted her?

Everyone came out of Genghis Khan's big tent, and when the princes and generals walked away, the burly head of the first thousand households in front of the imperial tent Chahan pulled Yelu Chucai aside and complained in a low voice.

"Yelu Chucai, just now the Great Khan said that he would slaughter the city, why didn't you persuade him?"

Chahan was a Western Xia nobleman who surrendered to Genghis Khan and was accepted as his adopted son. This time, it was released to attack Western Xia, and it was Chahan's father Qu Ye who defended the city of Ganzhou, and Chahan personally wrote a letter to persuade his father to surrender. The deputy general of the city guard, Ah Xuan, killed Chahan's father, Qu Yelu, and desperately defended the city.

The Mongol army broke through the city of Ganzhou, and Genghis Khan wanted to kill all the troops in the city, but because of the persuasion of Chahan, he only killed 36 defender generals such as Ah Qiu.

"General Chahan, thank you for looking up to me. But to tell you the truth, I'm an insignificant person in charge of the paperwork, and I can't persuade the Great Khan from Subutai and Torrey, so how do you want me to persuade me? ”

Yelu Chucai laughed awkwardly, looking at the deep and vast night sky, helpless and bitter.

The Mongolian nobles had to divinate good fortune and evil every major event, if he was not good at divining the stars and proficient in the legal calendar, how could he follow Genghis Khan's side.

In vain, he knew astronomy and geography, but he was full of talent, but he could only gain a place in the Mongolian army with his skills. The eldest husband is self-cultivation and governing the country with the family, which is embarrassing to think about.

"You can use divination to persuade the Great Khan to withdraw from the army, make some deception, and the Great Khan will listen to you."

Sure enough, Chahan spoke out urgently.

"Chahan, you're going to kill me!"

Yelu Chucai glanced around, and then replied in a low voice.

"Don't you see that the Great Khan wants to use Lingzhou City to make an example of the city and force the Tang Wuti Emperor to surrender? If I persuade him to withdraw his troops, I estimate my head, and tomorrow I will have a message to the three armies. ”

Chahan nodded, his face full of frustration.

"Looks like there's no way to stop this war."

With Genghis Khan's stubbornness and ruthlessness, coupled with his determination to destroy Western Xia, he believed that Genghis Khan could do this.

"Chahan, the Great Khan's body is getting worse day by day, at this time, don't provoke him to anger. Let's go down and prepare for the siege. Remember, after the city is broken, the rhubarb and other medicinal materials in the city must be saved! ”

Yelu Chucai told him seriously.

"Yelu Chucai, why is this?"

Chahan's heart was pounding and confused.

"Tsakhan, don't you see? The weather was cold, the army had been fighting for nearly a year, and the epidemic was epidemic in the army, and tens of thousands of soldiers had fallen ill. Lingzhou City is a big city, and there must be a lot of rhubarb......"

Yelu Chucai's words made Chahan suddenly realize.

It seems that Lingzhou City can't avoid this military disaster.

"Yelu Chucai, you are good at medicine, you say, what is the condition of the Great Khan?"

Chahan glanced nervously around and deliberately lowered his voice.

Yelu Chucai was valued by Genghis Khan, in addition to divination of astrological signs, he also had excellent medical skills and could take care of Genghis Khan's illness at any time.

"The sweat should be cold to the bones and need to recuperate. However, sweating is too quick and too strong, which is not good for the condition. The amount of food that the Great Khan eats now is much worse than before. Sometimes, a small bowl of rice a day can not be eaten. ”

Yelu Chucai was helpless, and sighed faintly.

"The Great Khan's body is already like this, so why not ......"

Chahan's words, wanting to speak and stopping, were stuck in his throat.

With Genghis Khan's stubborn and ruthless character, he would never retreat if he did not destroy the Western Xia.

"Now there is no way, but to quickly capture Lingzhou City, turn to besiege Zhongxing Mansion, and let the Western Xia monarchs open the door and surrender as soon as possible. Only in this way can we not only relieve the plague in the army, but also allow Genghis Khan to recuperate with peace of mind and recover as soon as possible. ”

Yelu Chucai frowned and whispered.

Genghis Khan's condition is getting worse day by day, and if he can't take Lingzhou City as soon as possible and destroy Western Xia, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Yelu Chucai, if the Great Khan asks you to divination, it is best to make the Great Khan feel relieved. Tang Wuti people are not so easy to succumb. ”

Chahan, like Yelu Chucai, was also worried.

As a native of Western Xia, Chahan is well aware of the blood and courage of the Western Xia people. Until the last moment, the soldiers and civilians of Lingzhou City will never surrender on their knees.

The Mongol army's attempt to encircle the point and send reinforcements has been aborted, and it is foreseeable that Genghis Khan's anger will make the Mongol army's siege more ferocious, and the counterattack of the Xia army in the city will inevitably be extremely tenacious.

The Mongol army, I don't know what price to pay?

However, he believed that under the siege of 100,000 troops, it would not take long to break the city.

Hundreds of catapults bombed indiscriminately, and Yanjing City also collapsed, not to mention the Lingzhou City, which was not strong in front of him.

"I hope to capture Lingzhou City as soon as possible, and the Great Khan can withdraw his troops to recuperate and recover as soon as possible."

Chahan's words were full of helplessness, and he seemed to have little hope of entering the city to persuade him to surrender.

"Chahan, having said that, it's better to persuade. After entering the city, don't be domineering, let alone coerce and intimidate, so that Li Deren is disgusted. ”

Yelu Chucai frowned and persuaded, and his heart was also bottomless.

Li Deren, the abolished prince of Western Xia, was known for his toughness, and he, the prince, was deposed because he was strong in resisting Mongolia. With him defending the city in Lingzhou, there is little hope of surrendering.

It seems that a vicious battle cannot be avoided.

"Yelu Chucai, whether Lingzhou City surrenders or not, I am a sinner for the people of Lingzhou and the people of Great Xia!"

Chahan was listless and turned to leave.

Yelu Chucai looked at his back and sighed faintly.

Regardless of surrender or holding, Lingzhou City will not be able to escape this catastrophe.

Genghis Khan's stubbornness may have something to do with his condition. Perhaps, this man who holds the whip of God is terminally ill and is just doing his last stubbornness.
