Qingcheng is located in the south of Bianliang City, five miles outside the outer gate, the Northern Song Dynasty was the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor sacrificed heaven and earth before and after the palace of fasting and resting, because Bianliang City used troops repeatedly, Qingcheng was dilapidated, and there was no original appearance for a long time.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, during the Jingkang period, the Jin soldiers besieged Tokyo, and Qingcheng was occupied by the Jurchen army, which was the garrison of the Jin general Wanyan Zonghan. Several Song princesses were sent here to die of humiliation, and it was here that the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Qinzong, presented a table of surrender to the Jurchens. Qingcheng witnessed the demise and humiliation of the Northern Song Dynasty, which can be described as a witness to the shame of Jingkang.

Time flies, a hundred years have passed, and today's Qingcheng has become the place where the Mongolian Great Khan Wokotai stays.

The disaster of Qingcheng in history, on the eve of the destruction of the Jin State, the Jin rebel general Cui Li surrendered to Mongolia, and sent more than 500 people from the Queen Mother, King Liang and the clans in Bianliang City to capture the Qingcheng camp of the Mongolian army, loaded with 37 carts, and traveled to Qingcheng.

As for the women of the Jin clan, they were regarded as rewards by the Mongolian generals, and the queen mother, queen, concubine, princess and other clan ladies became the playthings of the Mongolian generals.

Just like when the Northern Song Dynasty fell, the ruins of Qingcheng witnessed the demise and shame of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom.

The spring is cold, in the largest palace in Qingcheng, the Mongolian Great Khan Wo Kotai is drinking mare's milk wine comfortably, and the Mongolian generals below are all smiling, and everyone is happy.

Wiped out the elite of the Jin Kingdom, all the way like a bamboo, and once again approached the city of Bianliang, destroying the Jin Kingdom, which seemed to be close at hand.

Although, they also suffered many casualties. The Mongol cavalry alone lost nearly 10,000 of them, and the Han army was innumerable.

"Great Khan, in a few days, Bianliang City will be captured!"

Wokotai's younger brother Kuo Liejian, his face was full of excitement.

"In Bianliang City, there are mountains-like gold, silver and jewelry, as well as countless beauties. I feel good when I think about it! ”

The clan warrior drank hot wine with a lukewarm mouth, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

"Don't be careless."

Han Chijin's expression was serious, he was older, and he was thinking more.

"In the battle of Sanfeng Mountain, although our army destroyed the 100,000 troops of the Jin State, the morale rose greatly. However, Bianliang City is a big city, the Jin army is defending the city, and our army has suffered more than 20,000 casualties. ”

Since the Mongol army went south, although it attacked the city all the way, there were many encounters, and Hezhongfu and Weizhou, including Sanfeng Mountain, were all lost and lost, and a lot of consumption was consumed. If you want to capture Bianliang City, it will take some effort.

"If you can't attack it for a while, then surround it! Wait until all the people inside are starving to death, and then it's not too late to attack! It's hot, hand it over to Shi Tianze, and the Great Khan just goes to the north to escape the summer. When the time comes, capture Bianliang City and report to the Great Khan! ”

Temutai said with great interest.

Annihilated the elite of the Jin State, these young generals were all full of morale and triumphant.

"Temudai is right! There are millions of people in Bianliang City, and if they are surrounded for a few months, it will not be a year, see how long they can stay? ”

Kuo Lijian was also excited.

The generals were excited, and Wokotai nodded slightly.

In this shabby place in the Central Plains, he didn't want to stay for a long time.

"Tarth, Torre, any news?"

Touched by his heart, Wo Kotai asked softly.

The battle is over, and Torre hasn't shown up yet, so it's too slow!

Wokotai's brows furrowed slightly.

"Great Khan, there is no news yet. The Song army blocked the Hanshui line, and there were quite a few cavalry, unless the army forced it through. ”

Tari muffled.

"Great Khan, let me lead two thousand people to pick it up!"

"Great Khan, I'll go too!"

Torre's eldest son, Möngke, and his fourth son, Kublai Khan, stood up and asked for orders.

For three months, there was no news from my father, and both brothers were worried.

"It's good! Let the mouth be warm and go with you, and take the warriors of the tribe to start early tomorrow morning. ”

Ogedai nodded slightly.

In the siege, the cavalry can't help anyway, so let them pick up Torre and see what Torre is doing?

"Shi Tianze, Zhang Rou, Yan Shi, you go down and prepare siege equipment, let's attack the city as soon as possible."

Ogedai arranged them one by one, the generals retreated, Ogedai was drinking, and a young Mongolian man in his twenties came in, tall and mighty, and somewhat similar in appearance to Ogedei.

This is the third son of Wokotai, who bowed respectfully on the side.

"Abu, drink less, it's not good for your body!"

Kuode persuaded his father.

"Come, come, sit down. There's no news from Torre's side? ”

Wokotai was noncommittal, and asked his son gently.

Broad out of the young and old, shrewd and capable, very valued and loved by Wo Kuotai. However, Kuade's mother, Naima Masa, did not like Kuade and preferred her eldest son, Guiyu. Ögedei has always intended to become the heir of the Great Khan, but the Naima clan has tried his best to obstruct it, and everyone in Mongolia knows it.

"Abu, there is no news yet. The Song army blocked the front line of Hanshui, and unless the troops were forcibly used, there was no way to know what happened to the army on the Western Road. ”

"And what do you think?"

"The Western Route army has 70,000 soldiers and horses, including 50,000 cavalry, and is the most elite warrior in our Mongolian country. It stands to reason that there won't be so long without news. Either they were blocked in the Song realm, suffered heavy losses, and were still entangled with the Song army. Either they went south to attack the Song realm, and the battle went so smoothly that the march was delayed. ”

"Does he dare to disobey my military orders like this?"

Wokotai's face sank suddenly.

"Probably not. But what happened, when they went to the Song Realm, they would soon know. Meng Ge and Kublai Khan, but they were more worried than anyone else. Bianliang City may not be able to be captured in a month or two, so Abu should think about it and go back to the grassland first. ”

Kuo's words made Wokotai nod appreciatively.

"You're good, you know what to think. Unlike Guiyu, he is brave and indecisive, and he mixes with Meng Ge Kublai Khan all day long, forgetting who he is and what he wants to do. ”

Wokotai looked at his son with anticipation.

"Broad, noble by courage, indecisive; Broad end is impatient to kill, and his mind is too heavy. Only you do things with the big picture in mind and think about it thoroughly. Do you know what I'm talking about? ”

"Abu, I see."

Kuo's heart throbbed for a while, and he replied solemnly.

Wokotai was about to tell his son a few words, when there was a noise outside the tent, which seemed to be accompanied by crying.

"Great Khan, the envoy from Taiyuan is urgent, six hundred miles is urgent, saying that he has received a military order from Subutai!"

The voice of the guards outside the tent came, and both Ogedai and Kuode were taken aback.

Speedless? Didn't he borrow the Song Realm from Torre? How did you get to Taiyuan?

The messenger came in, followed by Möngke, Kublai Khan and others, all of whom burst into tears.

"Great Khan, there is a military intelligence report in Subutai!"

The messenger handed over the letter, and Wokotai took it and looked at it carefully, shocked to the core, and seemed to feel much more relaxed in his heart, in a trance, and stunned for a while.

"Great Khan, please send troops south to avenge my Abu!"

"Great Khan, please give an order, immediately use troops against the Great Song!"

Meng Ge and Kublai Khan knelt down one after another, choked up and asked for orders from Ogedei.

"Abu, please give the order to wave your troops south and avenge Kuoduan!"

Wokotai's eldest son, Guiyu, also shouted loudly, impatient.

Kuoduan is his younger brother, who died in Hanzhong, and as the eldest brother, of course he has to avenge his younger brother.

"Möngke and Kublai Khan, rise up first. With or without soldiers, the Great Khan has his own decision! ”

Wokotai's uncle, Han Chijin, is older and thinks more.

The 70,000-strong army of the Western Route Army was almost completely annihilated, and generals such as Torre and Kuoduan were killed. This was a fiasco that the Mongol army had never had, and how could it not make everyone frightened.

The strength of the Song army is terrifying, but it cannot be solved easily.

"Great Khan, our army on the Western Road was defeated, and the Song army also captured Shaanxi, and our army is already suffering from the enemy, so we must be cautious. The Huaidong Song army could wipe out Li Quan's 100,000 army, which was difficult to deal with. In addition, the Jinghu border army, an army of more than 100,000 people, if our army rashly uses troops, there is no certainty of victory. The Great Khan thought twice. ”

The Han army of Wanhu Yan sat in Dongping Mansion in Shandong, and knew a lot about the strength of the Huaidong Song Army across the water.

"Great Khan, General Yan is right! The Jianghuai water network is dense, there are many rivers and lakes, our army has no water division, and it is too hasty to use troops in the south! The Great Khan is decisive! ”

Shi Tianze, another Han army Wanhu, was also persuaded.

The 70,000 troops of the Torre Department can be wiped out, and the strength of the Song people's northwest border army can be imagined. It can also be seen that the strength of the border armies of Huaidong and Jinghu should not be underestimated.

"Yan Shi, Shi Tianze, you two dog thieves are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are full of feces! I, Abu are dead, will we not avenge them? Great Khan, send troops! Avenge my Abu! ”

Kublai Khan was young and vigorous, pointing at Shi Tianze and Yan Shi and scolding loudly.

"Great Khan, the Song people are so despicable, please immediately order the army to attack the Song. Otherwise, the Song people will be even more arrogant, and they will no longer be afraid of my Mongolian iron cavalry in the future. Great Khan, give the order! ”

Meng Ge did not accuse Shi Tianze and Yan Shi, who were helplessly smiling, but directly pointed to the use of troops against the Song Dynasty.

"Abu, give the order, you must avenge Kuduan!"

You beloved your brother and pleaded with Wokotai.

"Guiyou, Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, you go out first!"

Meng Ge and Kublai Khan were noisy, and Wokotai's face was pale.

Meng Ge and the others still wanted to argue, but Wo Kotai's eyes widened.

"Do you dare not listen to me?"

"Do you dare to disobey the Great Khan's military orders?"

Kuo Liejian followed by a sentence on the side, Guiyou hurriedly retreated, and Meng Ge and Kublai Khan retreated indignantly.

"Great Khan, Möngke and Kublai Khan, they are still young, they are just sad for the death of Torre, and they will be fine in a while. The Great Khan doesn't have to be taken seriously. ”

Wo Kotai's face was ugly, and Shi Tianze hurriedly started a round.

Mongolia is a feudal system, and Torre and Möngke each have different fiefs and armies, and I am afraid that they will be troublesome in the future. Even if they were arrogant, there was no way for Ogedai to really punish them.

"Great Khan, our army has less than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it may not be easy to use troops against the Song people. The weather will turn hot in May, and the Jianghuai River is all waterways, and our Mongolian iron cavalry will not be useful, and it will be difficult to inflict heavy losses on the Song army in two or three months. The Great Khan thought twice. ”

Shi Tianze hardened his head and continued to persuade him.

The Song army can wipe out the 70,000 troops of the Torre Department, so can the Song people bow down to the less than 50,000 troops in front of them?

"Great Khan, the Song people occupy Shaanxi, in case they advance east from Shaanxi and then from Huaidong, they can cut off the back road of our army. When the time comes, it will be difficult to ride a tiger, but it will not be good. ”

Han Chijin frowned and said.

"Then tell me where our army is going?"

At this time, Ogedai had quieted down.

Torre was killed, the elite under his command was lost, and the strength of the Song army can be imagined.

The Mongol army of 140,000 marched south on three routes, and now it has lost more than 90,000, and its vitality is greatly damaged, and there is no need to continue the adventure. It's not his way of doing things.

"Abu, the elite of the Jin Dynasty was annihilated by our Mongol army, and they won't survive for a few days. The Song and Jin have a deep blood feud, our army retreats, and the Song people will take the opportunity to attack the Jin country. We sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and sit on the profit of the fisherman. When the time comes, act on the opportune time. ”

Kuo said softly, giving Wokotai a step down.

"Great Khan, now that it's over, let's retire."

The Mongolian army was wounded and weakened, and it was already more than halfway through, and Han Chijin suddenly retreated, and he also had some fear.

The Torre troops were all defeated by the Song army, and almost all the troops were wiped out. %&

"Great Khan, retire!"

"Great Khan, let's retreat!"

Kou Wen Buhua and Shi Tianze and other Menghan generals persuaded them one after another.

The 140,000-strong army went south, losing as much as 90,000, which could not help but make people feel resigned. In case the Song army really came from the east and south, the Mongol army was not sure of victory.

"Then Jin Guo, will you just let them go?"

Wokotai remained silent and asked quietly.

At this time, he had already come up with the idea of withdrawing his troops.

He is not Meng Ge Kublai Khan, tens of thousands of troops want to cross the Jianghuai. The Song Dynasty had a vast territory, a large population, and a large number of generals, but it was not comparable to the Jin Kingdom. The vitality of the Mongol army was greatly damaged, and it was difficult to continue to use troops, so it was better to withdraw first, and the coming day would be long.
