Chapter 167: The Messenger
Three years of Song Xingqing, four years of Jin Zhengda; May, Jinjing, Liupan Mountain.
Mountains and mountains, beautiful scenery, green trees and flowers, clear streams and deep pools, cool and pleasant, it is a natural holy place to enjoy the cool in summer. With the muffled thunder in the distance, the sky was soon filled with haze, the red sun disappeared, and there was a tendency for the mountain rain to come and fill the building.
In the valley, the green shade covers the sky and the sun, the stream gurgles away, and in the golden tent of the Mongolian Khan Temujin, a group of Western Xia envoys are respectfully kneeling on the ground, and are speaking to Genghis Khan, who is sitting in front of him, cautiously and with a respectful expression.
On the ground on the side, several large boxes were opened, and there were a dazzling array of gold and silver treasures, jade and antiques, which were obviously the treasures of the Western Xia tribute.
"Emperor Genghis of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, the head of my dynasty said that the Great Xia Kingdom rebelled against Emperor Genghis many times, and the land was repeatedly attacked by the Mongol army, which was to blame. From now on, the Great Xia Kingdom will no longer dare to rebel, and will show slave-like obedience to Emperor Genghis! β
The envoy of Western Xia, Li Zhongge, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, knelt on the ground, his face was respectful, and he didn't dare to come out.
Luo Shichang, the deputy envoy of Western Xia and the Xuanhui envoy of the Southern Yuan, also knelt on the ground, holding his breath and not daring to raise his head.
This Mongolian Khan is decisive in killing, his heart is like a stone, and if he doesn't say a word, he will make them behead in a different place, and the corpse will be fed to wild dogs.
"Why didn't Li Li come himself?"
Genghis Khan said softly, and couldn't help but cough softly a few times.
"Back to Emperor Genghis of Great Mongolia, my lord is preparing an audience gift in the rear, so I can't come. The lord of the kingdom sent us to meet Emperor Genghis first, ask for peace talks and make an oath, hoping that Emperor Genghis will give my lord a period of one month, so that he can prepare the gift of the audience, and ask Emperor Genghis for permission! β
The voice of the Western Xia envoy Li Zhongge sounded again.
Under the eaves, I had to bow my head. What's more, when the country is ruined and the family is ruined, no matter how shameful and sad it is, it can only grovel.
"That's right. Go back and tell Li Li that he came to make an oath as soon as possible and cannot be postponed. β
Genghis Khan spoke softly, his face calm.
"Emperor Genghis, my lord led the people of Great Xia to submit to the Great Mongolia. From now on, there is no more Great Xia in the world, and the people of Great Xia are also the people of Great Mongolia, and I hope that Emperor Genghis will treat them well and my Great Xia monarchs and ministers. β
Luo Shichang was respectful, hard-headed, and took the opportunity to observe the situation of Genghis Khan.
Just a slight glance, Genghis Khan's pale face and trembling body were clear at a glance, and they couldn't hide it.
"Bold! It's not good to kneel yet! β
The guards at the corner of the tent shouted, and Luo Shichang and Li Zhongge kowtowed again and again, trembling.
"Great Khan spares his life!"
"Great Khan forgiveness!"
The guards in the tent are all the sons and daughters of the princes and nobles of Mongolia, and they are used to commanding and commanding, not to mention the small kingdom of Xixia.
"Forget it. All of them have white beards, and they are much bigger than you don't know. β
Genghis Khan said softly, and the guards hurriedly agreed, bowed their heads and retreated.
He was seriously ill and no longer wanted to kill, hoping to move the immortal heaven and help him get rid of the sick. Therefore, for Luo Shichang and others, especially the two of them who are already gray-haired, they will not talk about killing lightly.
"Thank you (thank you) for the Great Khan's forgiveness!"
Luo Shichang and Li Zhongge kowtowed, and they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that they had escaped.
"Get up. Go back and tell the king of Tang Wuti and the people of Xingling that as long as you surrender, I, Temujin, will never treat the people of Tang Wuti Country badly, and I will also treat the monarchs and ministers of Tang Wuti Kingdom well! β
Genghis Khan tried to sit upright, unconsciously sweating on his forehead, he waved his hand majestically, Li Zhongge and Luo Shichang hurriedly got up, and retreated.
This time, neither of them dared to look up.
"Go back! Surrender early! β
"If you dare to surrender, you will be slaughtered in the entire Lingzhou City and Zhongxing Mansion City!"
Li Zhongge and Luo Shichang and other Western Xia envoys came out, and the Mongolian generals outside the tent reprimanded angrily. Li Zhongge and Luo Shichang gave up one after another, and the generals made way for them, and Li Zhongge and the others left in embarrassment.
"Be quiet, don't make a lot of noise."
Wokotai came over with the envoys of the Jin State, and when he saw that the Mongolian generals outside the tent were not hanging on to five, they couldn't help frowning.
"Ogedei, get in quickly. Everyone was waiting for the Great Khan's reward. β
"Wokotai, what are you doing with these things, why don't you kill them directly and throw them in the mountains to feed the wolves?"
"Just bring this little thing, who are you fooling? Why didn't the princess of your golden country send it? Don't want to live anymore? β
The generals were careless, urging Wokotai, and also scolding and intimidating the envoys of the Jin State.
"Ahem!"
Torre coughed with a dark face, and the generals immediately stopped talking, and no one dared to speak again.
Ogedai glanced at the generals, nodded lightly at Torre, and turned his head to look playful. He took the envoys of the Jin State who were worried and smiling with a smile on their faces, and got into the giant car.
Li Zhongge and Luo Shichang had just withdrawn, and Genghis Khan could no longer hold on, coughing violently, and the ground was dotted with plum blossoms.
"Great Khan!"
was also shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan, is this already terminally ill?
"Great Khan!"
The guards in the tent were all frightened and wanted to step forward, Genghis Khan waved his hand slightly, and the guards looked at each other and returned to their original positions.
I couldn't hold back any longer and sobbed softly.
"So, don't cry, don't let outsiders see it, and don't let Tang Wuti's envoy see it."
Genghis Khan looked at his favorite concubine and said softly.
He quickly wiped away his tears, served warm soup, and helped Genghis Khan to drink.
"Great Khan, Ogedai asks to see!"
"Let him in."
Genghis Khan nodded slightly, and then spoke, and Wokotai came in.
"Abu, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin...... Your body is important, do you want to take a break? β
The father and son connected their hearts, and when they saw the blood on the ground, Wokotai was horrified, and he wanted to stop talking, and his concern was overflowing.
Receiving such a thing as the envoy of the Western Xia, you can completely deal with it yourself, and Genghis Khan has to drag the sick body to deal with it personally, which shows that the hatred for the Western Xia cannot be eliminated.
However, seeing that my father's face was scorched and his eyes were scattered, is this the end coming?
"Yes, Great Khan. Let Ogedai handle these things. The Great Khan had better rest. β
was also frightened, and also persuaded Genghis Khan.
"So, let the ground be cleaned up so that no one outside can see it."
After Genghis Khan finished speaking, his eyes turned to Okotai and said in a low voice:
"Ogedei, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin is still outside, you go and let them in."
Knowing Genghis Khan's character, Ogedai had no choice but to go to the tent door, open the curtain and go out.
He also asked the guards to quickly clean up and replace it with a new woven carpet.
"Γgedei, how is Abu (Great Khan)?"
Seeing Wokotai coming out, Torre and a group of Mongolian generals immediately surrounded him and gossiped.
"Shh
Wokotai quickly made a silent gesture and coughed lightly to raise his voice.
"The envoys of the Jin State have entered the account to meet the Great Khan!"
Ogedai was noncommittal, and Torre and the generals dispersed. The envoy of the Jin State came over, with a smile on his face, nodded his head, and followed Wokotai into the Golden Tent.
"What does this mean? What was the Great Khan like? β
"The Great Khan received the envoys of Jinxia, it seems that there is no big problem!"
The generals were babbling and whispering, and Torre whipped the stake next to him fiercely, and said a stupid sentence in his mouth.
"Don't say anything, what are you doing?"
Torre glanced at the generals with gloomy faces, and everyone quickly shut up and straightened up.
"After the ministers finished Yan Hezhou, they came to beg for peace on the order of my Dajin Emperor, and asked Emperor Genghis of the Great Mongolia to withdraw the heavenly soldiers, and allowed me to surrender to peace, and the two countries will be friendly and never lose each other."
The envoys of the Jin Kingdom came in and knelt down one after another, and they were making Wan Yan Hezhou kneel on the ground and said tremblingly.
Genghis Khan hated Jin Guo to the core, and whether he could go back alive or not depends on Genghis Khan's mood.
"Golden Envoy, get up!"
Ogedei glanced at the silent Genghis Khan and spoke in his place.
"Jin envoy, the Xia people have repeatedly betrayed our Great Mongolia, rebelled, conspired to make chaos, and our army swore to destroy the Xia Kingdom. Since your Dajin Kingdom has surrendered to peace, you will immediately send troops after returning to help my army destroy the Xia Kingdom. Can it be done? β
Ogedai said coldly, asking instead of Genghis Khan.
The Jin State and the Western Xia secretly formed an alliance to engage in a brotherly country. Western Xia was in trouble, but the Jin State did not send a single soldier, and Wokotai looked down on the Jin people from the bottom of his heart.
"Back to the Great Khan, this matter is very important, and Weichen, a small envoy, I am afraid that he cannot point fingers at these military affairs. After Weichen returns, he will make it clear to my lord, and then reply to the Great Khan. Please forgive me! β
After Yan and Zhou Qiang, he smiled happily and replied boldly.
The Mongol army dominated the world, and Genghis Khan's generals were fierce. annoys these people, and if you don't get it right, the sword soldiers will rise again, and the lives will be ruined.
"Since you can't decide these things, what are you here for?"
Wokotai's face turned pale.
"Quick! Bring the gift up and present it to the Great Khan! β
Wanyan Hezhou hurriedly beckoned, and the entourage immediately brought up the gifts for the audience.
The box was opened, full of gold, silver and jewelry, rare antiques, calligraphy and paintings, dazzling, and exciting.
"Emperor Genghis of Mongolia, in addition to these gold, silver and jewelry, my lord also has 30 beauties and 500 horses, as a sign of my lord's peace. Please also laugh at the Great Khan! β
Wanyan Hezhou nodded and bowed, with a smirk on his face.
Since the beginning of the year, the Mongolian army invaded the territory and attacked the city, and the entire Longyou was under the iron hooves of the Mongolian army. The Jin people repeatedly came to sue for peace, but they were all rejected by Genghis Khan.
This time, Genghis Khan finally allowed the golden envoy to meet him, which really made him overjoyed.
"Just this thing, dare to fool the Great Khan? What about your princess of the Jin Kingdom, why didn't she send it? Don't you want to form an alliance with the Nanren and relatives like the Tang Wuti people? Or are you going to make peace with Tang Wuti and deal with my Great Mongolia together? β
Wokotai was unceremonious, pointing out that Jin Guoxiao made too many moves.
It is not surprising that the Jin and Xia kingdoms formed an alliance against the Great Mongol State. Could it be that the Song people were also involved in the defeat of the Song Realm?
However, the defeat of the army and the loss of troops cannot be known to Genghis Khan. Otherwise, the father will be angry, and his health will only get worse.
