Bianliang City, five miles south outside the South Outer Gate, Qingcheng, where the Mongolian army camp was stationed, and the Golden Horde of the Mongolian Great Khan's Wokotai are also located here.

Counting nine cold winters, New Year's Day has just passed, and the surroundings of Bianliang City are shrouded in a white wind and snow. The weather was cold, the rivers were frozen, and on the vast white fields, the Mongolian army rode back and forth, and the plundered gold and silver treasures, silk cloths, and grain and women were transported into the camp that spread for several miles.

In the summer of last year, the successor of the Mongol Great Khan Wokotai held a meeting of the Mongolian princes and kings at Guanshan in the north of Juyong Pass to discuss the strategy of attacking Jin and Xia. Since the Western Xia had been incorporated into the Song Dynasty, Wokotai adopted the opinion of Tuo Lei and decided to divide the army into three expeditions. Wokotai self-unified the army of the middle road, and approached the city of Bianliang in Nanjing, Jin State; The left army of the East Road and Chijin marched from Jinan, Shandong to Henan; Tuo Lei commanded the right army, from Shaanxi Fengxiang Mansion to the south, through the Song Dynasty, along the Han River directly into the Jin State Bianliang City behind, with the momentum of outflanking, in one fell swoop to destroy the Jin State.

Since last autumn, Wokotai has besieged the city of Hezhong in Hedong for two months before the city was breached. The Mongol army crossed the Yellow River and broke through the Yellow River defense line of the Jin State until the city of Bianliang.

And the East Route Army was also like a bamboo, breaking Jinan Mansion and Xuzhou, and successfully joined forces with the Wokutai Department under Bianliang City.

The Mongolian army camp, the Chinese army camp, and the golden tent of the Mongolian Great Khan's Wokotai, the Mongolian Great Khan's Wokotai leaned on his chair, slowly drinking hot mare's milk wine, and listening to the reports of the generals below.

Mare's milk wine is made by storing mare's milk in a skin bag, stirring it, and after a few days, the milk fat is separated and fermented into wine. In July and August every year, the cows are fat and the horses are strong, which is the season for making mare's milk wine. Wokotai likes to drink, and there is always good wine around him, and everyone is used to it.

"Back to the Great Khan, it has been nearly two months since the army of the Western Road, but there is still no military information. Presumably there was some accident on the way. ”

The young captain Temutai reported to Wokotai.

The five tribes of the steppe, including the Wulu, the Huwu, the Tilie, the Hongji Thorn, and the Zathorn, were the most brave and warlike tribes in the Mongol army, and made great contributions with Genghis Khan's western expedition, and won the trust of Wokotai.

"Temutai, you're thinking too much. Torre's 70,000-strong army can destroy a big country, what will happen? In my opinion, he must have been dormant with a large army, ready to deliver a surprise blow to the Jinren. ”

The commander of the Eastern Route Army, Hu Chijin, shook his head, very disapproving.

He was the youngest brother of the late Mongol Khan Temujin and the uncle of Ogedei. As the most qualified kings to promote the new Great Khan, he presided over the ceremony of Ogedei's ascension to the throne of Khan at the court meeting of the Great Kuriltai tribe. Chagatai, Tuolei, and Hu Chijin respectively supported Ögedai's right hand, left hand, and waist, and lifted Ögedai to the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia.

"That's what Han Chijin said! It may be that the southerners are spending all their time, and Torre has grabbed too much, so the march is a little slower. ”

The mouth is warm, Wokotai's cousin, Han Chijin's nephew, and the young generation of fierce generals in the Mongolian clan, said disapprerovitically.

The 70,000 Mongol army marched, and who in the world could help it.

"General Shi, General Zhang, tell me, Torre and Subutai, where are they now?"

Wokotai pondered for a moment and asked the two Han soldiers under his command.

Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou glanced at each other, and Shi Tianze spoke first.

"Great Khan, the last general thinks that Marshal Chijin is right. Marshal Torre commanded an army of 70,000 men, and they are all the most brave warriors in our Mongolia, and nothing will go wrong. He should be somewhere south of the Han River, waiting to give the Jin army a thunderous blow. ”

Shi Tianze was originally a wealthy family of the Jin Kingdom, and when he was young, he returned to Mongolia with his father Shi Bingzhi. Later, he succeeded his brother Shi Tianni as marshal of the capital, led the army to defeat the Jin general Wuxian, and captured and killed the Song army general Peng Yibin, making a lot of contributions.

After the death of Genghis Khan, Ögedei ascended the throne and decided to go all out to cut gold. Wokotai selected Shi Tianze, Liu Heima, and Xiao Zhala of Lianghe as the three commanders to lead the Han soldiers. Shi Tianze Ren Zhending, Hejian, Daming, Dongping, Jinan five roads and ten thousand households. This time to the south, Shi Tianze's army took advantage of the victory to take several places in Jingdong, and killed the Jin general Wanyan Qingshan slave in Yangyi, and was very valued by Wokotai.

"Great Khan, the last general thinks so. My Mongolian iron cavalry dominates the world, and no one is invincible. Marshal Torre's army of 70,000 was enough to destroy the country. Don't worry about the Great Khan! ”

Another Han soldier Wanhu Zhang Rou, then Shi Tianze said.

Zhang Rou was once a local powerful in the Jin Kingdom, and once organized a righteous army against the Mongol army, and was later defeated and captured. Surrendered to the Mongols. Wokotai went south to cut gold, and Zhang Rou was promoted to ten thousand households and fought with Wokotai in the south.

Zhang Rou may not be very famous, but his son Zhang Hongfan is famous in history. In history, the Southern Song Dynasty perished, and captured Wen Tianxiang, whose name went down in history; In the Battle of Yashan, Zhang Shijie's army of the Southern Song Dynasty was defeated, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians went to the sea; Then, the twelve characters engraved on the stone wall, "Zhang Hongfan, the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty, destroyed the Song Dynasty here", was Zhang Rou's son Zhang Hongfan.

However, Zhang Rou is still young now, and Zhang Hongfan has not yet come to the world.

"You're right. I think so too. ”

Wokotai whispered softly, no more.

With a Mongol army of 70,000 on the west road, it is really not easy to have an accident.

"Great Khan, our army is under the city of Bianliang, and the Jin Emperor will definitely transfer people from all walks of life to King Qin. The Jin army in the Nanyang area will definitely come back to help. Now that Torre has not arrived, our army can only solve it by itself, defeat these dog thieves, and destroy the Jin country in one fell swoop! ”

Han Chijin, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, couldn't help but remind.

"Great Khan, there are 100,000 Jin troops in the Nanyang area, and they are the elite of the Yellow River Tongguan line. After completely annihilating these Jin troops, it will be much easier to destroy the Jin Kingdom again! ”

Shi Tianze, the Han army, solemnly explained to Wokotai.

"But Torre's army hasn't arrived yet, do you want to ......?"

Wokotai hesitated for a while, and was about to continue, when the guard reported outside the tent.

"Great Khan, Chahan and Li Bangrui are asking to see you outside the tent!"

"Let them in!"

Wokotai perked up and sat up straight.

He sent Chahan and Li Bangrui as an envoy to the Song Dynasty, wanting to join forces with the Song Dynasty to destroy Jin, and he didn't know what news these two brought back.

"How? Have you met Emperor Song? ”

Chahan and Li Bangrui came in to salute, and Ogedai asked impatiently.

"Back to the Great Khan, we just met Meng Ying, the deputy commander of Jinghu, in Xiangyang, and he categorically refused to join forces with our army to attack the Jin Dynasty, and directly sent us out of the country, and I couldn't see the Song Emperor at all."

Li Bangrui said nervously.

After dealing with the Song Dynasty a few times, he could feel that the attitude of the Song people was getting tougher and tougher.

"Great Khan, the Song people are tough, I don't know what they think. The Song people gathered 60,000 or 70,000 troops on the front line of Xiangyang, but they did not use troops against the Jin Dynasty. If I advance eastward from the western route army, we will clash with the Song army if we don't do it well, and it will inevitably be a big battle. ”

Chahan followed.

When he entered the Song Realm, everything he heard and saw was an eye-opener for him. The Song people were strong, the Song army was strong, and the soldiers were well-trained, so it was by no means so easy to deal with.

He was now a little worried about the army of the Western Route that had borrowed the Song Realm. The Song army is not a vegetarian, Torre is horizontal enough, the two sides will definitely clash, once the battle is engaged, it is very likely that the battle will be tragic and unimaginable.

"These Song people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, why don't they go south directly, break Xiangyang City first, and export their evil anger!"

Captain Temutai was young and vigorous, and said angrily.

Reinforcing Western Xia, seizing Hexi, expelling Mongolian envoys, and opposing the Mongol army everywhere, it seems difficult to relieve anger without teaching a lesson.

"Great Khan, why bother to find the Song people. Without the Song people, my Mongolian army could still be afraid of the golden dog? Now go south to destroy the army of golden dogs, I am willing to be a pioneer! ”

Han Chijin's face was gloomy and he said stupidly.

Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty have too deep grievances, and they have long been incompatible. Even Song extinguishes Jin, there is really no need.

"Great Khan, I am willing to be a pioneer, beat the golden dog, and then break Bianliang City! If the Great Khan attacks the Song Dynasty, I am willing to be a pioneer! ”

Genghis Khan's sixth son, Kuo Liejian, also enthusiastically asked for orders.

He was the sixth of Genghis Khan's sons, but because three of his brothers died young, he became the youngest son of Genghis Khan.

When Korejian was born, Genghis Khan was already forty-seven years old, which can be regarded as an old man. As a result, Genghis Khan favored Korejian and gave him the same power as his four half-brothers, Jochi, Chagatai, Ögedei, and Tolei.

Later, when Genghis Khan divided the feud, Kuoliejian, like his four elder brothers, was also divided into 4,000 households, which shows Genghis Khan's preference for Kuoliejian.

The generals enthusiastically asked for battle, and Wokotai was also excited.

"It seems that this is the only way to go. After destroying the army of the Jin State first, as for the Song people, don't pay attention to it for now, and wait for Torre to arrive. ”

Without Torrey, wouldn't the 70,000 Mongol army on the East Road still be able to deal with the main force of the Jin Army?

The generals nodded one after another, and Temutai snorted coldly.

"Wait until the golden dog is destroyed, and then invite trouble to the Song people! Kuo Liejian, when the time comes, let's see which of us kills more Song dogs! ”

"Temutai, I'm afraid you're not my opponent!"

Kuo Liejian did not show weakness and said categorically.

"Good, good! You are all warriors of my Mongolia, and some of you have the opportunity to make a difference. ”

Wokotai waved his hand, and the guards took the map and unfolded it, and all the generals surrounded him.

"Han Chijin just said that our army is besieging the city, and the moving Pu Abu will definitely return to the division to rescue Bianliang City. Sanfeng Mountain in the northwest of Junzhou can just block the road to the north. When the time comes, surround three and lack one, harass and attack, intercepts its grain route, and annihilates it outside the city in one fell swoop. ”

"The Great Khan is relieved. There are only 20,000 cavalry in Yirapuabe, and the remaining 80,000 infantry, a rabble, must be killed all over the field! ”

"Great Khan, it's not easy to deal with the golden dog!"

The generals were full of confidence, and Wokotai nodded appreciatively.

"The Jin army is 100,000 strong, there may be King Qin's righteous army, there may be hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are hard bones like the loyal and filial piety army in it, don't be careless. Destroy the main force of the Jin Army, and everyone will be rewarded! ”

Wokotai solemnly advised, and all the generals obeyed the order solemnly.

The trapped beast is still fighting, not to mention that this is the territory of the Jin army, so you still have to be careful and destroy the other party in one fell swoop.

The generals went down to prepare, and Wokotai came out of the golden tent, looked at the snowflakes in the sky, and frowned.

"Torre, where the hell are you?"

Wokotai couldn't help but sigh, and his eldest son Gui hurriedly persuaded from behind:

"Abu rest assured, the Western Route Army will be fine, and Torre will return safely with the army."

Wokotai turned his head, looked at his son and Meng Ge, Kublai Khan and other sons and nephews, and shook his head slightly.

"Guiyou, borrow your auspicious words to destroy the Jin Kingdom early and go back early. Half of the world is for pleasure, half for fame. Life is too short to enjoy in time. This place in the Central Plains is dilapidated and desolate, and it is really tireless. “

Wokotai sighed with emotion, turned around and entered the Golden Horde.

Meng Ge and Kublai Khan and the others walked down, looked at the huge golden tent, and Torre's eldest son, Meng Ge, shook his head gently.

"The Great Khan doesn't seem to have much interest in conquering the world."

Ogedai was a heavy drinker, fond of shooting and hunting, and did not seem to have much ambition to rule the Central Plains, which made him very incomprehensible.

"The world of flowers in the south of the Yangtze River and the splendid rivers and mountains will sooner or later be the world of my Mongolia. Now wait for Abu to lead his troops to come, destroy the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop, and then go south and occupy Jiangnan! ”

Torre's fourth son, Kublai Khan, had his eyes shining and couldn't wait.

There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, if you are a hero, you should dominate the world, and all the people worship it, how can you indulge in wine and be happy like Wo Kuotai?
