Chapter 142: Cloud Movement
When a ray of sunlight pierced the sky and dispersed the entire black curtain, the entire battlefield was quiet, the fire was still burning, and there were many soldiers robbing the people's property, which was also what Zhao Tiancheng said in advance, the captured things These soldiers can seize at will, and they don't have to hand it over. So no one cares about the surrounding fires.
Many horses that had lost their owners stood quietly beside their masters, snorting from time to time, as if calling to their masters lying on the ground. At some point, vultures appeared in the sky - birds that symbolize death. Maybe it's because the gore is too much. No one in the entire royal court survived, many soldiers were lying on the ground due to loss of strength, and many people lost their minds, but fortunately, when the warm sunlight shone through, the whole world fell into peace again.
Several leaders sat by Zhao Tiancheng's side to protect him, although they knew that the emperor's martial arts were not comparable to them at all, who let Zhao Tiancheng's hands be seriously injured, and they didn't want to loot the property like those soldiers at that time, because they knew that they would get more when they left here.
Because of the broken bones of his hand, Zhao Tiancheng estimated that he did not have good medicine for injuries, and his hand bones could not be connected, but fortunately, there were not many enemies in him, except for Ouyang Feng, who had fled back to the Western Regions.
Just when Zhao Tiancheng was sitting on the big tent that had collapsed before, thinking about the future development, a leader hurriedly ran over, first saluted respectfully, and then said: "Official, it has been counted, the casualties of the soldiers have reached more than half, and now there are only more than 900 people left who can continue to fight." There was not a single person alive in the entire royal court, except for a few soldiers who had escaped, and it was tentatively estimated that there were more than 80,000 people. Most of them are unarmed. ”
"If you can be cremated, you can be cremated! There are a lot of people who have run away, and once the Mongol army is united, we will all be trapped here. ”
The man saluted, and respectfully withdrew to deliver the order.
Zhao Tiancheng was also glad when he heard the number of deaths, no wonder Mongolia was able to rise, in the night he had already noticed that both the old man and the woman could take up arms to fight, if it wasn't for the night raid might have killed these people, the army he led had collapsed.
Now the population of the entire Mongolian tribe is only less than one million, although there are many soldiers recruited, but it is at the cost of not doing anything to produce, once losing a war, the Mongolian tribe will completely decline, which is why the Mongols have not broken a rebellious city to slaughter the city.
Otherwise, how many cities can be defeated by only 200,000 string control pawns? At this time, Mongolia is also the best period to deal with, of course, Zhao Tiancheng was weak in the early stage, once Genghis Khan digested the Western Xia, plus the place of the Jin State that was defeated, the number of soldiers would expand dramatically. And under normal circumstances, during the expedition, the Mongol tribes are following the troops and acting together, but this time Temujin knew that it was impossible to defeat the Jin State at one time, and just wanted to weaken the strength of the Jin State, so he led the cavalry to break through into North China from the Bauhinia Pass and the Juyong Pass.
In less than ten days after Zhao Tiancheng and the rest of the people returned to the south, there was already a lot of noise in Temujin's tent.
Temujin looked at the generals below who were constantly arguing with a serious expression, and they were not to blame, after all, everyone's family members were in the royal court, and I don't know how many people would die if the royal court was raided this time. Now Temujin also deeply hated Tokuzar for his mistake, and at that time there were enough soldiers left, and he was even attacked by someone.
Jochi and Tetsube sat there without saying a word, and now they went deep into the interior of the Jin Kingdom, and they saw that they were about to break through the Central Capital, but they didn't expect their hometown to be raided.
"Bang!" Temujin slapped the case and shouted, "Don't make any noise! Get out!"
The entire Golden Horde instantly became a drop of needles, and now Mongolia is still only only the Mongolian tribes, and no one dares to challenge the power of Temujin, seeing Temujin's black face like the bottom of a pot, those people ran out of the Golden Horde.
Looking at Temujin, who was sitting at the bottom of Jochi, he asked, "Jochi, do you have any good advice?"
Jochi hugged his chest and saluted: "Great Han! Now the top priority is to return to the Trouble River immediately, leave all the looted things behind, and light the army to move simply, the royal court is the foundation of the Great Han." ”
In fact, Jochi's words are reminding Temujin that the Mongol tribes are not all monolithic, but it is because of Temujin's strength that the entire Mongol tribe is united, and the most loyal to Temujin is naturally Temujin's original beggar tribe. But there were several other large tribes in Mongolia, but the 30,000 troops personally commanded by one of Temujin's most elite were recruited by the Qiyan tribe. If the royal court really suffered a serious loss.
Temujin clenched the wine glass in his hand tightly, and couldn't make up his mind for a long time, if these women and items were brought back to Mongolia in this battle, it would definitely usher in a period of great development, but such a thing happened in the royal court, and now ordinary soldiers did not know the news of the royal court being raided at all.
Seeing Temujin's hesitant decision, Jebe on the side also said anxiously: "Great Khan." ”
Temujin waved his hand and said, "Let me be alone for a while!"
Jochi and Jebel had no choice but to retreat, after all, for a hero like Temujin, giving up a chance to rise was definitely a torment for them.
Just when Temujin made up his mind and the Mongol army was ready to pack up and retreat, there was also a quarrel in the court of the Jin State, among which some people represented by Wanyan Honglie, the king of Zhao, advocated sending troops immediately, and many ministers advocated peace with the Mongols, and persuaded the emperor to move the capital to Kaifeng.
The emperor of the Jin State couldn't make up his mind at all, hesitated for a while, and finally thought of the matter of the Song Dynasty and the Jin State to negotiate peace, so many years have passed, although the Song Dynasty misses the New Year's tribute, but the Jin State cannot destroy the Song State, so he actually agreed to negotiate peace. It was decided to move the capital as soon as the Mongols withdrew.
Wanyan Honglie could only leave the hall in an atmosphere, and finally decided to use the power of King Zhao to lead the army to go out privately.
In the end, the Jin State could only send Fuxing as a peace envoy with the princess, 500 boys and girls, and 3,000 horses, to send Genghis Khan back to Mobei.
That night, Temujin killed Fuxing, and drove back to the Mongolian steppe along the same road with his men and horses overnight, and when Yan Honglie and his men and horses left the city the next day, all that was left was an empty tent.
Wanyan Honglie saw the trophies left behind, a lot of looted women and money, and a lot of food, and knew that it was impossible to catch up with the Mongol army, but this incident prompted a major event to happen in the Jin country. Directly led the army into Zhongdu and there was a coup d'état, put the emperor of Jin under house arrest, and became the emperor of Jin himself.
With these troops in addition to the grassland, Zhao Tiancheng did not follow a straight line to the south of the Song Dynasty, but to the east, at the border of the Jin State, about the coup d'état in the Jin State was reported, these troops at the beginning Zhao Tiancheng did not think of bringing them back, but took these people and let them disperse to the territory of the Jin State.
Zhao Tiancheng asked several leaders to return to China immediately to inform Lu Guanying that he could implement the plan, now that the Jin State had just coup d'état, and because the Mongol invasion was the most chaotic time, more than a year of training and studying, I believe that Lu Guanying should be able to take the army to recover the former territory and advance the border line to the Yellow River.
Zhao Tiancheng himself rode the Condor to track down the whereabouts of the Mongol army, and this time it was time to make the Mongols break their muscles and bones.
